Today, an organization called Tiglin gave us a presentation about homelessness in Ireland. Tiglin is an organization that strives to help the "whole person", not just the substance abuse. They like to teach a whole new way of living by addressing family relationships, work attitude, self-image, temptation, and many more. After we were introduced to the organization, we got the chance to meet a person who was saved by Tiglin. He was once homeless and addicted to drugs. He was found by Tiglin and they helped him get back on his feet and overcome his heroin addiction. His talk about all of the hardships he faces in his life really impacted me and made me realise how lucky I am. It was empowering to see how Tiglin helped him and ut made YSI want to do something to help Tiglin
