It might be “a really nice thing to do,” but how does camping out in a football field for a night really help raise awareness about homelessness? Granted, the 26 students from South St. Paul High School managed to raise $800 for Safe Haven, which provides group homes for youth up to age 25 in Dakota and Scott counties, but really? Does this somehow give them any idea of what it means to really be homeless? Does it really help raise awareness? Just wondering.
