“Early one morning, near my home and on my way to someplace else, I crossed paths with a Santa Claus. I wanted to know who this guy was. Where did he come from? Why was he in my neighbourhood?
Then I discovered the “Volunteers of America”. It was the organisation behind the homeless men on Fifth Avenue who dressed as Santa Claus to collect money for the shelter in my neighbourhood. Most people on the sidewalks just walked past them, some made contributions, but others had their children balance on Santa's knees, never of course imagining where these men had come from.”
