Does anyone know about all the homeless kids that live in the underground tunnels in NY? You know, the ones they don't admit to..the ones they kind of turn a blind eye to? Where are they? What about all the other homeless people in these affected areas? Where's the news reports about these folks?
Remember many of these folks come from abusive homes and are survivors of sexual abuse/assault.
The Awareness Center closed. We operated from April 30, 1999 - April 30, 2014. This site is being provided for educational & historical purposes. We were the international Jewish Coalition Against Sexual Abuse/Assault (JCASA); and were dedicated to ending sexual violence in Jewish communities globally. We did our best to operate as the make a wish foundation for Jewish survivors of sex crimes. In the past we offered a clearinghouse of information, resources, support and advocacy.

Naf - A Street Kid in Israel (2004)
The shocking and revealing documentation of a homeless boy's life over a two and a half year period. Naf (Naftali), is an ultra-orthodox bot thrown out of his parents' home for being a "bad apple". From the age of 14 he wanders the Jerusalem streets, and is exposed to crime, violence, and sexual assault. Only fighting keeps him alive; fighting the city council as a representative of homeless youth; fighting the man who sexually abused him through the court system, fighting the radio stations to convince them to play his music. This is a child not only fighting for life, but for self respect and a future. This is the struggle for survival experienced by all our homeless children -- as seen through the eyes of NAF -- A street kid.
