Raveena Tandon feeds the hungry
Raveena Tandon has decided to do something for all those who suffer from hunger on a daily basis, commemorating the occasion of 'World Hunger Day', which is on May 28. The actor has joined hand with an initiative started by The Akshaya Patra Foundation. The initiative is named 'Know Hunger', and it has helped in feeling millions of children and their families across India.
There are many underprivileged children who are not only battling COVID-19 crisis but also the resultant decrease in food availability as the breadwinners of the family are not able to earn. This has led to inadequate nutrition as well. Raveena is showing her support by becoming a part of a special digital show for a leading entertainment channel. Tandon will be one of the esteemed guests in this panel, and she aims to inspire the Indians all across to help as much as they can.
Raveena talked about this initiative and what she feels about the situation. Tandon said that it breaks her heart and she has to learn and accept the fact that there are millions of Indians who are not as privileged as others. She said that there are people who do not have a family, a house to live in, and not even access to everyday meals.
She feels that it is the responsibility of the capable ones to do as much as they can in their capacity. Raveena also shared that she has always believed in supporting those who are in need and she also looks at it as her duty as a citizen of India.
