The 43-year-old Quebec native was living below the poverty level in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside, an inner-city neighborhood that is in Canada's poorest section. A high-school dropout, Sharpe had to survive on $500 a month. He lined up at food banks, frequented churches and libraries in order to heal his spirit. Then he saw a poster on a telephone pole. “Free University,” it promised. He signed up immediately.
By early September Sharpe was riding a bus across town to Point Grey, one of Canada's wealthiest areas, to attend a unique program at the University of British Columbia(UBC). He was among 25 adults aged 20 to 62 with widely varied backgroundsーsingle mothers, AIDS sufferers, new immigrants, homeless people and so on. What they shared was an income below the poverty line, the ability to read a newspaper and a love for learningーthe only requirements for an eight-month course called Humanities 101.
Every Tuesday and Thursday evening, after most students had left the campus, the group gathered in a classroom where they were taught first year level philosophy, literature, architecture, economics and poetry by well-known professors and other professionals who volunteered their time.
The course awakend Sharpe's desire for learning. He worked hard on assignments, regularly visited the computer lab and searched the university library. As his (A) grew, Sharpe began to regain control over his life. He started a running club in the Downtown Eastside and pushed Humanities 101 organizers to help him enter UBC as a regular student.
“Humanities 101 opened up (a,experienced,I,never,of,what,world) before,” he says. “Showning people a different way of thinkingーeducationーbrings light.”
Sharpe is one of some 100 people who have graduated from Humanities 101 since it began in the fall of 1998. Three graduates now attend UBC, and many more are studying in community and technical colleges. Others have opened their own business of worked as vnlunteers, and have become active in community affairs; one even ran for mayer. Almost all have felt their lives deeply changed.
“We're not trying to make people employable,” says former Humanities 101 director, Dr.Client Burnham. “We're trying to reawaken their desire for knowledge. Our success is in helping people gain control over their lives in small ways.”
