I admire Sr. Martha for the wonderful job that she is doing of feeding the hungry on the roads and all those who approach her, besides taking care of the orphans and the destitute.

Overview of Street Outreach
After the Sneha Sagar Society had done
the above-mentioned outreach activities, Sr Martha felt the need to continue
this noble service to our poor brothers and sisters on the streets of Mumbai.
We decided to cover the Streets from Dahisar to Andheri. Every Saturday, the
Sisters and volunteers distribute cooked or donated food to the poor on the
streets. Sometimes we go Andheri and sometimes we go Dahisar side. Every week
we distribute food to 100 to 300 people.

Outreach
to quench the thirst of the thirsty
One day during summer
when we were distributing food to the poor on the street, a small child came up
to us and asked us to give him water. Because of this we decided to start a new
project to distribute water along with food. We made an appeal to the people to
donate their used water bottles to us so that we could reuse them. We would clean
and fill those bottles and distribute water too along with the food to the poor
on the streets.
