1,000 days of serving meals to the poor
Hyderabad: A regular and steady small social work can inspire many and bring a change in a big way. Following this motto, Meghraj Ravinder, who was once trending for his rap beats, has completed 1,000 food servings days to the poor on Friday. He started three years ago with donating a packet of food, and now has been serving three packets to the roadside hungry people. As he posted his charity endeavour of donating food every day on social media, his endeavour not only gained popularity but inspired many to follow his footsteps. Around five people among his friends and fans are following his path to serve the needy.
The rapper-turned-artist, who recently played a role in the movie 'George Reddy,' shared his first meal in February 2017, and has no breaks till date. What started as sharing a packet of food, after completion of every 365 days, Meghraj added one more packet of food in his every day serving list. Currently, he is serving 3 packets of food in his third year of the journey of 1,000 days of #Share_a_meal thought. Anyone can follow this initiative because of its simplicity, he buys a meal costing between Rs 20 and Rs 50 and he donates to the poor on his way. And he posts it on social media. "This is because everyone cannot afford doing charity at large scale, but each one of us can do a little from what we have. If anyone finds it difficult to donate food every day he can also do once in a week and can have a week count," says Meghraj.
"Food is a medium to connect people without a language, come lets all serve food with love and feed hungry people," adds the Rapper & Artist.
On posting sharing meal on social media, he says, "I post my life achievements and promote my music or business, so why not spread some good deed through the same media."
Regardless of place and time, one can share the meal wherever they find a hungry person. Sharing a-meal-a-day doesn't make much of a dent in your wallet, adds Meghraj.
