I was blessed to spend Christmas Day in December 2013 riding around with Raghubhai as he delivered meals to the slum community in Ahmedebad. Everyone loved him, and it was obvious why--he had perhaps the purest heart of anyone I have ever met. I could tell he was working so hard, delivering two meals a day to the community, so I asked him if he ever took a day off on the weekends or any vacation time. He looked at my as though my question were strange and said, "The people I feed can't take a vacation from eating, so I can't take a vacation from serving them." He was so sincere and selfless in his response. Raghubai was a living example of Gandhi's message.I will always remember him and I am deeply saddened by his passing. --Heidi
