NJV School is an old school in Sadar, Karachi which Akhuwat adopted a few years ago to provide quality education to the most deserving. These days, the school and its boarding are closed, but some of the school's staff is still coming to work. They prepare hundreds of meals with their own hands every day and distribute them to the area which have been severely affected by COVID-19.
Sometimes, I hop on to their school van leaving for meal distributions. Yesterday, we drove to Hub Chowki, a town located at the border between Sindh and Baluchistan.
This is the first-hand account of what the meal distribution looked like. When hungry people see food, no instructions on social-distancing or making queues work on them. The fear of going hungry simply takes over their primal brain. As soon as our van stopped, we were surrounded by hundreds of kids. Within 8 minutes, we had given 350 meals. We couldn't serve all of the kids. The cries and pleads of little ones are still echoing in my head. These kids didn't ask to be born poor. So whose responsibility are they now?
This video is a little attempt to give you a glimpse of what I saw in Hub Chowki yesterday.
