October 16 is celebrated around the globe as World Food Day. On this day, volunteers from all countries step forward to inspire commitment towards ending hunger worldwide. In response to WFD’s official motto “when it comes to hunger, the only acceptable number in the world is zero”, researchers from ISET Policy Institute donated food items to Catharsis Georgia – a charitable organization that, among other services, feeds 310 elderly in need every day.
During the visit researchers were taken on a tour inside the house and had an opportunity to explore the inner workings of this benevolent organization. They visited the kitchen, a recreational place for the elderly, their in-house church, a library, a gym, and had chance to talk to seniors sipping tea in the specially arranged bar.
