‘Feeding The Homeless – Extended’. Length 10:15
Bill takes us on a journey to the Exodus food van and the needy of the inner city of Sydney that it serves. He discovers that although the old area has been redeveloped for the middle and upper class, not a lot has changed since he first walked those streets forty years ago.
‘We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty’
– Mother Theresa
