Seva Cafe: Love All, Serve All
94,548 views
Seva Cafe in Ahmedabad, India is redefining the idea of a fine dining experience. Operated on the principle of a "gift economy," this restaurant serves food at no charge. Diners enjoy meals that have been paid for by those who came before them. And what patrons contribute is a matter entirely up to them. "You pay from your heart," explains one of the many volunteers who cook, clean and serve at the restaurant. "The idea is to promote the idea of giving."

The video took me to Ahmedabad, India
some 64 years ago, a young man reading a poem by Carl Sandburg at the Family of Man expo:
There is one Man in the world and the Man's name is All Man;
There is one Woman in the world and the Woman's name is All Woman;
And there is one Child in the world and the Child's name is All Child.
Just look at this model veg village in Congo:cooperative work is solving food crisis there:
