    OUCH!!

    We received these comments from a recent visitor who is a partner of ours in India. I think this sincere observation does not require any further comment from me:

    "It was an opportunity for me having had the chance to share about India and the work of my organization. It was interesting to also learn about the lives of Canadians, which is so different from us. People were nice and supporting but I feel sad to see all the potatoes and fruits wasted in the field, in the storage house, processing unit and on the plate. I wish I could take them all home and distribute here to the hungry people."
