World Food Day 2021
I wanted to do my little bit for people who are hungry. I wanted to identify deserving people who are really hungry and didn't have anything to eat. I asked my contractor Nagraj to help me identify people. He said Sir there are so many people out there who want food. I said I can afford only 20 packets. He said you arrange we will distribute.
Today morning 7.30 am I went to hotel.Food packets were under preparation. I took them and with Nagraj went to that place.
A group of huts with minimum facility. Women standing outside brushing teeth, children playing and men chatting. I could feel poverty for first time. We take so many things for granted. I get up and breakfast is ready but for this community breakfast was something great.
I arranged things to distribute. Nobody came to receive the food packet. Nagraj called them. One woman came. Next moment I was surrounded by people. I was busy giving them food packets. One woman told I am standing for long you are not giving to me. I apologized and gave her a packet. One hand reached out to me. Hand adorned with bangles.I saw she was pregnant. Tears swelled up my eyes. I told her you shouldn't wait for food.
20 food packets - 5 mins. It was gone. Cost I would generally spend in a hotel for my lunch fed 20 people. I decided I shouldn't spend so much for me hereafter.
A small child extended her hand and asked for food. I told its hot I will give it to your mom. She started crying insisting I give it in her hands.
The food packets were over. 5-6 people were still standing. I was sad I couldn't give them. I pray to God give me money so that all these people can have breakfast next time.
This post is not to flaunt I have done anything great.Just to create awareness pls give a food packet, feed one hungry person. Enough.
Let's join and feed the hungry.
