Just One: Chowka Ghat

7/20/2015

 
Picture

On July 21st, 2015, the Just One team and volunteers went to the slum area of Chowkha Ghat to offer a Just One Hunger Initiative program. Located next to the train tracks, the sounds of the horns and engines of the trains could be heard every five minutes while I was there. This only seemed to be a nuisance for me.  The children seemed perfectly at ease.

Most of the adults were nowhere to be found.  The children helped to get water for the cooking and organised the seating mats prior to the meal. During the meal, many small children shared a plate and were fed by their older brother or sister sitting next to them. In total, 216 children were fed a meal of vegetables, bread, and fruit.

I was struck with how self-reliant the children are. Living in pretty bare conditions with parents who are out working, the children needed to be fairly organized and self-sufficient. In that regard, it was a blessing to offer them a feeding – to offer a moment in the day for the children to simply be served, enjoy a meal and laugh in each other’s company.
