Inspired by Mother Teresa, Kenyan safari operator feeds 24,000 families 32
Safari operator Pankaj Shah would normally be showing tourists around his native Kenya. Instead, he is spearheading a volunteer effort to feed thousands of families left penniless due to the devasting coronavirus. "One old woman told us she hadn't eaten for days - her sons had stopped supplying her because they have no work," he said, walking down a line of young men packing rice, flour, beans, and long-life milk into boxes. Kenya reported its first case of the coronavirus on March 12. Schools closed the following week. Businesses shut, families left the capital, and the casual work sustaining the vast majority of urban Kenyans dried up.
