Welcome to the Siloam Mission sj101 blog! We've created this blog in conjunction with our new summer program called sj101 (Social Justice 101).
sj101 is a 4 day camp from august 11-14, 2009 for youths grades 9-12 that will help you challenge your views of poverty and homelessness.
This blog is meant for you to post your thoughts, ideas, and questions coming up to the event and even after the event. It will be updated about once every couple of weeks and you are welcome to comment on any post.
Check back here often to find out what your peers think about poverty and homelessness in Winnipeg and in Canada. And to find out more about sj101 go to www.siloam.ca/sj101. Or if you'd like to learn about Siloam Mission in general, check out our website at www.siloam.ca.

- 300 Princess Street, Winnipeg, MB, Canada
- About Under the Radar: Often the issues surrounding poverty and homelessness, and the people struggling with these issues, go unnoticed. For most of us, for much of the time, it’s just not on our radar. Under the Radar is designed to change the way you view domestic poverty and to help you understand that there is something you can do to make a difference. We want to bring homelessness to the forefront by encouraging participants to learn more about related topics and by allowing them to serve in the places, and with the people, who are often under the radar of our society. About Siloam Mission: Siloam Mission provides meals, clothing, counseling services, emergency shelter, employment training and helath care to people experiencing poverty and homelessness in Winnipeg. A connecting point between the compassionate and Winnpeg’s less fortunate, Siloam Mission is a Christian humanitarian agency offering programs and services at no charge to those experiencing homelessness. Siloam Mission alleviates the hardships of the poor and homeless, assists in transitioning them into self-sufficient and generous lifestyles and advocates nationwide on their behalf.
