"It's been a very cold winter \u2014 especially for the homeless. \nIn a new campaign called \"Days of Hope,\" people who are homeless stand in place of TV weathermen to bring awareness to the harsh impact of the cold winter in Europe, Osocio reports. Real men and women are invited from the streets to read the weather. When they're done presenting, they can ask the audience to make donations to local charities.\nThe above news cast is from Romania, a similar weather program is running in Russia, and more will soon roll out in Germany, Poland and Switzerland. \nSEE ALSO: Homeless Man Uses Flip Cam, YouTube to Spread Awareness\n\nThough these stand-in weathermen don't give particularly exciting performances, the campaign's shock value as a reminder of what weather means to real people on the streets still pervades. \nDo you think the campaign is effective? Let us know your reactions in the comments.\nHomepage image courtesy of Zilele Speran\u0163ei, YouTube"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
