We, The Hunger Helpers, have adopted a village orphanage in Titwala, on the outside of Mumbai. We plan to give them MMM Food Packages containing staple food supplies every month. 

When we reached the orphanage, all the children were very well disciplined. After they ate breakfast (each child finished everything on their plate #zerowasteage), everyone had their own responsibilities, like washing the dishes or clearing the mats. 

We introduced ourselves to one other, we talked about what we wanted to be when we grow up. The orphans had big dreams and aspirations. They all were very confident and spoke about their dreams with stars in their eyes. Most of the boys aspire to join the India Army and the girls aspire to join the police force.🤩

While interacting with them, we all were laughing and learnt so much from each other. 

We gave the orphanage MMM Food Packages, about 140 kgs of groceries. We also gave them our pre-loved clothes, bags and accessories and a few treats. We taught them how to grow their own microgreens (something we learnt in our last year's GSL project @growfresh_eatfresh). We also taught our new friends to regrow the leftover seeds from their chopped vegetables. It was very interactive and engaging for all of us. 

Before leaving we played and danced with them. They all were very talented, showcasing their skills very proudly. 

This trip taught us so much. We all should be grateful for everything we have. It was truly a heartwarming experience and it's something we will never forget.
