It is a beautiful November day, cool and sunlit with not a cloud in the sky. Today's feeding is in Chauka Ghat and the community we are serving resides on the property of the Indian Railroads system. A village has been built on this government easement between the actual rail lines and the start of private land. It is actually quite a large parcel of land.
The village is vibrant with activity. In every corner that I look, I see activities in addition to the primary reason why I am here today, the Just One feeding program for impoverished children. The boys are playing a game similar to the Indian pastime of cricket. The girls who are not involved with the rolling of the dough, cooking of the vegetables or frying of the puri are engaged in sharing circles, caring for the youngest babies and roaming livestock, or tending to their daily chores.
