Open Letter to Amelia Kent, American Peace Corps Volunteer, who started Shepherd's Heart Cafe in Cebu City's Historic District
Dear Mimi,
Finally I had the chance to stop by the Shepherd's Heart Cafe with my sister-in-law.
I have heard that some of the clients of Balay Samaritano are at times drunk and threatening. They lay around even during the daytime, and more of them show up at night. Despite the fact that the Barangay folk try to move them away from the area, they come right back.
The situation of having many homeless people living in the tourist area right next to the Heritage Monument, the Yap-Sandiego Museum, and Jesuit House is not good for Cebu's tourism, nor is it good for the residents of the area.
I feel sympathetic to those who lack, but it is a great disservice to Cebu to attract homeless people to the tourist area of Cebu.
In fact, what we need are vigilant Tourist Police to reassure the tourists that the place is safe.
Hoping you are well,
Cecilia
