Leo Club in Khandwa: An initiative has been going on in the city of Khandwa for the past few years, which has brought smiles to the faces of many poor families. This initiative was started by the youth of Leo Club, which is led by social worker Sumit Parihar. The aim of this club is only one – no person should sleep hungry. That was about 3-4 years ago. Sumit and his friends went out for a walk every night. Many times they see some women, elderly and children on the roadside looking for food among the garbage. This scene shook him to the core. He felt that if God gave life, then everyone should at least get food to fill their bellies. That was the moment when the seed of this service was sown and Leo Group was born. While talking to Local18, Sumit Parihar says that his team used to be small but today around 100 youths are actively working in this club. Initially, two seniors also joined him – Ghanshyam Wadhwa and Pawan Lad, who used to do catering work. Whatever food was left with them was given directly to the Leo Club and these young people went to the train station, bus stand and district hospital at night to feed the needy. Gradually, the news about this initiative started spreading in the city. Other caterers and confectioners also began to join them. Today the situation is such that every night 200 to 300 people are fed and that too with clean, absolutely quality food. The club team continuously appeals to the people that if there is a wedding, function or any other event in your home and there is leftover food, then do not throw it away. Just call this number before 11:30 or 12 at night – *9479409466* The team will immediately come and take the food and feed the needy. This will have two benefits – your food will not be wasted and a hungry person will get a full meal. The active members of the team providing their services are Leo Sumeet Parihar (President) Leo Abhishu Sharma (Secretary) Leo Ketan Verma (Treasurer) Leo Arpit Baheti (Former President) Leo Shivam Jaiswal (Vice-President) Leo Pawan Jaiswal Leo Ghanshyam Wadhari Leo Ghanshyam Bhandwa Leo Ghanshyam Wadhari (Advisa Ghetib) Leo Shivam Rajput These young people work together every night. Take to the streets to deliver food. Social worker Baheti ji, while talking to Local 18, says that during weddings, many people take more food than required on their plate and then throw away the half-eaten food. To stop this, the team started putting up posters at weddings. Take only as much as you can eat in the plate, this increased awareness among people and wedding families also started to give the leftovers to Leo Club. Senior social worker Baheti ji says that we want to make this initiative bigger, so that no one in the city sleeps hungry, whether it is the wedding season or not. Confectioners and caterers also come forward and work together. He knows where and how much food will be left, and he informs his family in advance that this food should not be thrown away but should be given to the Leo Club. The team thanks all the collaborators and appeals that if you have a wedding or any event and there is food left over, don’t throw it away. Let us know. Many people are looking forward to us. Leo Club also thanked the Local 18 channel for helping to take this campaign to the people. This will raise awareness in the city and maybe tomorrow someone else will also step on the path of this service, the resolution of Leo Club is clear “No poor person will sleep hungry at night in Khandwa.
