“Mom’s Morsel” – we all would have cherished the meal when our mom or grandmother or aunt says that this is mother’s morsel, father’s morsel, aunty’s morsel etc. In Telugu, it implies ” కొసరికొసరిప్రేమగాతినిపించడం.”
We are back with the FDP (Food Distribution Programme) activity which we left long back. We did Food Distribution in the name of FDP for couple of weeks in the initial years of TMAD. We used to prepare Lemon Rice and Curd Rice and distribute around 50 packets every week, for couple of weeks. You can find the pictures here:

We couldn’t continue due to the dissenting voice in the group. Some members in our group didn’t like the idea of distributing to roadside people. As it is becoming difficult to get volunteers too, we discontinued the program
We planned to shower mother’s love to impoverished children and to feed them nutritious food with affection!!
We restarted this activity for the slum children, who have to beg in MMTS trains if not for the efforts of an NGO, on 25th December, 2012. Every Third Sunday of the month, we are going to distribute food to 50 to 80 kids.
Note: We do not offer special meal but a healthy meal. Our meal will consist of nutritious food: Mixed Grain Rolls (sajjalu, ragulu veetito chesina undalu like minapasunni), Banana, Brown Rice, one curry, one chutney, Rasam or Sambar.
The estimate is Rs. 2500 per day (only lunch) for 50 students.
Note: Irrespective of the expenses each month, we are going to consider Rs. 2500 as the expense of food distribution for a day (lunch with snacks). We plan to raise Rs. 30,000 per year (Jan to Dec) for this activity. If we get more amount, we will consider distributing twice a month.
If any of your friends want to donate or distribute food in remembrance of a loved one or to celebrate any occasion, pl. refer this programme to them. They can join in our food distribution programme. No need to give entire amount (Rs. 2500), they can donate the amount of any denomination starting with Rs. 100.
Solicit your support in this regard. Awaken the mother in you and come forward to feed the young kids, whose hearts you can definitely reach and win through their mouth. You not only fill their stomach but move their hearts too.
