Whenever we hear about “the homeless,”, most of us think of the Developing world. But the    is that homelessness is everywhere. For example, how many of us would expect to see people living on the streets of a     country like Germany?
Kurt Muller and his wife Rita have spent eleven years making      for the homeless of Berlin, Germany’s capital. They first       one long hot summer when most Germans were    on holiday. Kurt and his wife stayed at home, made sandwiches,      a table in the street and gave food to the homeless.
The Mullers soon realized that food and clothing weren’t      . “What these people also need is warmth and     ,” says Rita. The Mullers didn’t    to give their phone number to the street people and told them to phone anytime. Rita     there was somebody at home to answer the phone and their home was always   to anyone who couldn’t face another night on the street.
The couple were soon      all their time and money, so Kurt visited food and clothing companies to    donations. Today, over thirty companies    donate food and other goods to the cause and volunteers help  to     them to the homeless. The public also give clothes and money and a shoe producer     new shoes.
Kurt and Rita receive no     for their hard work. “ We feel like parents,” says Rita, “and parents shouldn’t      money for helping their children. The love we get on the streets is our salary.” Though Rita admits she often gets      . She says she will continue with her work because she likes the feeling of having made a      in the world.
