JUST ONE: DUDIYA POKRA

1/7/2015

 
Picture
Today, December 30, we are across the road leading to the airport in the village of Dudiya Pokra.  This morning the temperature was a brisk 6 C / 45 F and there was a heavy fog that made it difficult to drive.  The feeding is starting very late by our usual schedule at almost 2:30 in the afternoon. So the feeding is starting very late, at almost 2:30 in the afternoon.

The children are on holidays and so are in a great mood.  I arrive and many rush to grab my hand and lead me to the cooking site.  Other children offer their hands eager to get a handshake.  Several children bring their shyer brothers and sisters for handshakes or photos. They are so joyous, friendly, orderly, and polite.

Another thing I love about feeding the children at this time of year is that it is very cold for Indians now and as such the outfits that the children wear can be memorable.  One very young boy is wearing a furry orange polka dot full body ski suit.  He is so cute. I just want to hug him.  I love the array of hats and the myriad styles of mittens as well.

The food is excellent today.  The vegetable curry is flavored just right for the Indian palate (spicy).  The puris are too hot to even hold, so you have to wait for them cool down. And the bananas are perfect, not over ripe as is the tendency in the local market place.  Today, Just One and ASMITA, our local distribution team, feed 250 children.
