As part of Circles East Liberty, Eastminster Church hosted an exercise to demonstrate the daily grind of poverty.
For one intensely compressed month, Christine Smith tried to live as “Robert Rogers” on $1,517 in the frenetic world of Realville. She took on the role to dip into the experience of being poor.
She was standing in line to see the payday lender within the first 15 minutes of a poverty simulation exercise Thursday night at Eastminster Presbyterian Church in East Liberty. The exercise represented four weeks, each one 15 minutes long.
