Thanksgiving and the Utah Homeless Population

November 22, 2013 by Andrew Wankier Leave a Comment

In 2012, the number of homeless Utahns was 16,522, up 15 percent from the previous year.  Contrary to popular belief, most homeless are not single adult men. Forty-five percent of the homeless population in Utah are members of … [Read more...]

Turkey Soup For The Soul

The Story of the Pilgrims immigrating to America on the Mayflower

It was a gray November evening in a grey classroom painted by bright smiles. I was an ESL teacher for newly arrived immigrants, a role that encompassed both instructing English and serving as a gateway to an often confusing culture.
