The dabbawalas of Mumbai are rightly famous for the efficiency of their lunchbox delivery service - they deliver over 200,000 meals a day. That's more than 120 tons of prepared food. What happens to the portion of that food that goes uneaten? This film shows how ingenuity and compassion never stop in a city where, while many eat, many others go hungry.

Read an introduction to the famous Harvard Business School case study of the Mumbai dabbawalas or a fuller scholarly study of how they do what they do.

There are many ways you can help the homeless in your community. Consider this list of ideas.

Taking uneaten food home from a restaurant?  Have left-overs in your refrigerator? Go a little out-of-your way to share that bounty with someone on the streets of your town.

Mansukh
The helper considers it a privilege to help the less fortunate. Will these spiritual gestures touch the hearts of the Indian millionaires with 300 room houses yet no heart to fill them? Is it not time to give back to society who painstakingly put you where you are today? Jai Hind!!!
Sudha
Wow! what an innovative way to help the society.....

I praise the touching gesture by the hard working Dabbawalas of Mumbai, where it is said people have little time to do their chores. I wish the millionaires of India would emulate this example generously.

So simple, so beautiful and so easy. If we all only did one simple, easy thing each day to help another, what ripples it would have across our world.
