For them the celebrations like Heritage Days are a great time to meet up with friends and family and a great place to take dates. We need to understand that most people in poverty are controlled by the tyranny of the moment. For those in poverty, dealing with tyranny of the moment creates so much stress that they cannot reason this all out. Through our poverty trainings, we have learned that people who live in poverty have a different mindset from those who live in middle class. Spending on celebrations like Heritage Days, for someone with different values, makes perfect sense.
