Christmas dinner for the homeless
Ladies of love is an extensive community project dedicated to feeding hungry people.Their soup kitchens feed the homeless of Capetown every week and their other projects provide food to the struggling schools ,students and communities
Ladies of love began when Danny Dilberto was inspired to create a
project to give back to society, as the result of attending a course through
the Art of Living foundation (AOL).As part of the course,
attendees were encouraged to head out into the streets of Cape Town to offer hot tea
to homeless people. As a restaurateur, Danny decided instead to make use of his kitchen and cooked up a fresh pot of soup instead.Walking the streets of Cape Town on his mission, he spotted a homeless Danny approached him to
offer the soup, and in that instant he saw that such a simple gesture had great
power. The man stopped his shouting, accepted the soup and thanked Danny before
continuing on his way.In this moment Danny realized that he had the power to restore dignity, even for just a moment, to
people who have lost their way – and so the soup kitchen was born.
With
little knowledge of how to start a soup kitchen, he decided just to go for it
and at the first soup kitchen on a chilly July evening in 2014 a small team of
volunteers served 70 hot meals. That same kitchen now happens every single
week, serving over 200 meals each time. individual walking along – the man was
wrapped in a dirty duvet and was shouting and swearing as he went.
