The second part of today, our last day in Ljubljana, was a tour of the "Invisible Ljubljana." It's absolutely shocking the sights that can be seen on the streets of such a wonderful city. We were guided through the streets and a hidden underground where the homeless population of Ljubljana gather to find shelter, warmth, food, and basic supplies. Our guide was very aware of this reality because she herself was once a homeless addict living day-to-day. I loved the experience because it allowed me to really understand the realities that many homeless children and families face. I also hated the experience because it is horrible to truly see with the dangerous situations thousands of people face on a daily basis. It is called "Invisible Ljubljana" because it is a side of the city, and the world, that many people ignore. Fortunately, many people and organizations are working hard to improve their circumstances and I can only hope that kind souls will continue to donate their time, clothing, food, and money to assist those in desperate need.
