Questions for Caritas visit

It seems that Caritas Roma is focused on helping immigrants adjust/adapt to the Italian culture by providing housing, Italian lessons, and other services. It is an idealist goal considering the amount of immigrants in Rome and all the goals this organization wants to achieve. The immigrants all over Rome selling various objects and food are the obvious outsiders, isolated and at times discriminated against. Were they helped by Caritas Roma? Do the gypsies qualify as a people to enjoy the services of Caritas Roma? When do immigrants cease to qualify or are pushed down the list of offered assistance into adjusting to a foreign environment? Do a lot of immigrants know about this program? How do they find out? Is it offered to most or does it have a selective aspect on who it is willing to help? What do the immigrants think of this program? And the Italians? Who funds this organization?
