JUST ONE FEEDING : Serving in the slums

2/19/2014

 
Picture
The food distribution today was in the slums of Basha Bagh Colony located near an industrial area of central Varanasi.

About 20 families live here, mostly in very small huts they have constructed from plastic and tin. To earn money these people collect garbage from the street of the city and bring it back to their homes.   Even the young children will go out on the street, sorting though the garbage dropped on the streets for items of use.  The items are then sorted into groups – plastic, tin cans, paper etc and taken back into the city to be sold.   On a good day they may get about a $1 profit.

The children where very happy to see us when we arrived and immediately we were all playing and laughing together.  As usual the camera proved to be a big attraction.  The children so love seeing their photos in the camera.

We continued to serve and prepare food for about 2 hours, over which time about 140 children and some of the families who lived there were fed. Everyone was very happy and grateful for the great meal and the adventure of the day.
