Project 24: 117 meals Veg Pulav, 6 volunteers, 30 hours

There are days when giving becomes a celebration—when service goes beyond action and turns into a heartfelt experience. Project 24 of the Life is All Positive Kitchen in Beed, Maharashtra, was one such day. With care and dedication, Shubham and Apeksha infused their warmth into the cooking. Leading the project, the family of Shubham Sasane, together with six committed volunteers, dedicated 30 hours of effort to prepare 117 nutritious meals. Their hard work was supported by the generous sponsorship of Mr. Deek Parassini, whose belief in the cause made the initiative possible. Adding to the spirit of community, Shubham Sasane’s neighbor also joined as a volunteer and helped in the distribution of food, making the effort even more special.

As the meals were distributed, the atmosphere transformed. Every food packet handed over carried more than nourishment—it carried a smile, love, and hope. The people receiving the meals felt cared for, while the volunteers experienced the joy of giving. What began as a food drive soon became a reminder that kindness has the power to connect hearts. The meals filled empty stomachs, but what truly lingered was the feeling of community.

The experience nourished the hearts of both givers and receivers alike, reminding everyone present that compassion is what binds us together. Project 24 was not just about feeding people—it was about reaffirming that kindness is contagious. When people come together with love in their hearts, they don’t just change a moment, they create a ripple of hope that can last a lifetime.
