Some of them even blessed us for doing this.<\/p>\n<p>This is my experience that is very hard to put into words , as people in this situation was the last thing you expect to happen in London .<\/p>\n<p>What we saw is the tip of the iceberg.&nbsp;We pray this we get strength &amp; motivation to do&nbsp; more frequently and help out were we can.<\/p>\n<p>Food was vegetables rice, pasta . Samosa&#8217;s ,pizza , Parle biscuits small packets tea.<\/p>\n<p>It was an eye opener for me and very emotional experience.<\/p>\n<p>The food was served to about 180.00 people &#8230;.. few women and mostly men .<\/p>\n<p>The Sevaks that did this seva were: <strong>Bena, Lekha, Savita and Bhanu.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Bena Shah<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>LHSG UK in Charge<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Our gratitude to <strong>Savita and Jalaram Temple members<\/strong> for highlighting the plight&nbsp; of the homeless in Ldn and giving us oportunity to do this seva. We should be thankful for what we have n are much better of then these destitute people who are without shelter and are un employed. We will realise their difficulties once we put our selves in their shoes; the least we could do was to&nbsp; satisfy the hunger in their bellies. They need more but we are not in that position to provide for everything. We continuously send healing that their plight improves and they do not loose hope.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Bhanu Shah<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>LHSG UK<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx<\/p>\n<p>On Fri. 27th October, <strong>Bena, Savita, Bhanu, Seema, Ramesh, Chirag and Savita&#8217;s friend Renu,<\/strong> went to distribute food to the homeless at Charing Cross in central London. We joined up with volunteers from Jalaram Mandir who carried the food in large bags from North West london.There were&nbsp; all adults, male and female; people from London of English origin, Eastern European, Many Africans, and Indian(brown skin) plus from West Indies who are in this country for a long time and are in need of daily meals. We distributed, bananas, bread rolls, pkts of Crisps, tubs of rice pudding , and apples. There were about between 150 to 180&nbsp; people. We served them from 7pm onwards for one hour. There were 2 other well wisher groups who were also distributing in the same location nr William 4th street. The organisers have to take prior permission for&nbsp; setting up distribution points on the open streets. This activity was part of our Seva for 12th anniversary celebration. Thanks.<\/p>\n<p>The people who are made homeless is due to different reasons; some are unemployed, some are thrown out by their spouses or partners, some cannot pay rent, and some may have shelter but no money to buy food or a hot cup of coffee. The wife throws out husband because he doesn&#8217;t earn enough.!!<\/p>\n<p>These people did not wish to have their photograph taken, so we respected their wishes &#8230;.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Bhanu Shah<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>LHSG UK<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LHSG UK members dis Seva of a different kind, but blended some Reiki in it.
