Homeless not left out

WHILE BARBADIAN FAMILIES WERE TOGETHER enjoying their Christmas meal and having their celebrations, a number of vagrants across  the island also tasted the joy associated with the Christmas season.
The homeless people were seen at different spots across the island collecting and eating hot meals, thanks to a number of the island’s charitable organizations, clubs, groups and individuals.
This homeless man, who did not want to speak to the Press, but did not mind his photograph being taken, gave his name as Mr Walcott.
He was one of 60 people who received hot lunches yesterday afternoon in Heroes Square from the Sri Sathya Sai Baba Organization of Barbados. The homeless were also given toiletries.
The organization usually delivers meals to about 40 homeless people on Sundays and bank holidays. (MM) (Picture by Rawle Culbard.)
