Inspirational children have joined forces with a Dundee charity to cook food for homeless people.
Youths volunteered to prepare a meal for people stricken by poverty.
Teaming up with charity Taught By Muhammad, children helped cook a three course meal for both homeless and socially isolated people in Dundee’s Menzieshill.
The children prepared a curry, pasta and desert for people to enjoy.
According to volunteer and Taught By Muhammad operations manager Rizwan Rafik, the youths involved are an “inspiration”.
Rizwan said: “A lot of people look forward to the food because it’s the one time of the month they get a curry and a hearty meal.
“It’s a chance for them to come and enjoy a meal and some company.
“There are people who are hungry and sometimes this is the only meal they get a day.
“The reaction is amazing and it builds bridges and new friendships.
“It’s important for the young people involved with us to understand what is going on in their community, what social injustices are taking place.
“It was actually them who said they wanted to do this and take the opportunity to go and serve people, which is quite inspirational.”
The young volunteers say they were more than happy to give up their time to help their fellow Dundonians.
Mariem Eshawi said: “I wanted to help because we all have some meals and the homeless people, they don’t.
“It’s important that they have a meal just like any other people.
“It’s nice to help out and to help other people around you who don’t have meals. It’s a really nice feeling.”
Rimsha Tahir added: “If I was homeless I would want people to do the same for me and help me.
“It’s important for us to keep doing this and try to help people.”
