When you are at the end of the line watching men and boys collect a dish of hot food and a plastic spoon or fork along with a cup of water and as a treat today, a banana. You see in their faces how grateful they are and also so polite for what is probably their only meal of the day.
It is truly humbling to see the connection between the volunteers and the recipients.
Early start dropping off about 7 boxes of bananas. Always popular!Doc Mobile setting up for the evening

It was cold tonight so a sing song was very welcomed by all. The instruments are provided by Doc Mobile
More foot injuries due to the distances they walk
Might as well join in. It was chilly in this thin kilt. Everyone really enjoyed it. It was a lovely atmosphere.

Retired nearly 13 years ago and since then been privileged to travel all over the world and meet amazing people and cultures. I'm now driving from Birmingham to Cape Town and collecting donations for the British Red Cross where I have been a volunteer for over five years. Please be as generous as you can. Thank you
