The poor and the affluent are not communicating because they do not have the same words. When we talk of the millions who are culturally deprived, we refer not to those who do not have access to good libraries and bookstores, or to museums and centers for the performing arts, but those deprived of the words with which everything else is built, the words that opens doors. Children without words are licked before they start. The legion of the young wordless in urban and rural slums, eight to ten years old, do not know the meaning of hundreds of words which most middle-class people assume to be familiar to much younger children. Most of them have never seen their parents read a book or a magazine, or heard words used in other than rudimentary ways related to physical needs and functions. Thus is cultural fallout caused, the vicious circle of ignorance and poverty reinforced and perpetuated. Children deprived of words become school dropouts; dropouts deprived of hope behave delinquently.

Mama Maggie thought of the Farah School because of the problems of education in Egypt. And she chose this neighborhood specifically because it's one of the most densely populated areas and one of the oldest slums. – Ines Fawzy MalakRate it:
Most of the people that live in the slums live hand to mouth and in a day, they get paid maybe $ 3 David Avido dollars, they aren't able to buy hand sanitizer or a mask while at the same time trying to buy food for their family. – David AvidoRate it:
Pope Francis is the ultimate Washington outsider. His priorities are not Washington's priorities, we think we are the center of the world. We are not the center of Pope Francis' world. He is frankly more comfortable in the slums of Argentina than in the corridors of power. – John CarrRate it:
Popular areas will survive, but it would not be surprising if areas that are not so popular will have a lot of vacant houses and turn into slums. – Yutaka OkadaRate it:
She watched half of them go to the grave by the age of 3, if you look at their death certificates, it’s a variety of causes, but they all track back to poverty. They all tie to life in tenement slums. – Megan SmolenyakRate it:
