On 21st June, on the cusp of the monsoon season in Varanasi India, Sai Maa Vishnu Shakti Trust visited Khadipur Village to feed 220 impoverished children.
There is always a unique character to each village and each group of children we visit. These children eat their meals in near silence with respect and reverence. Eating platefuls of food, they eat for a noticeably longer time than other slums I have visited. After eating, they all throw away their own trash and wash their hands properly.

In my eyes, it was selfless service. Our team came with little advertisement and self-promotion, simply with food and cooks to feed these children. They in turn came well-mannered, ate well, and left in peace. No other words were needed, no promises and no thank yous except for the smile on their faces. On a soul level, we expressed gratitude for each other through service and being served.
Looking back, I realise with great appreciation the gift we shared together in the inner and outer peace held by the children of this slum
