    Although I do not know much of this kind lady, one of the workers in Godrej Factory told us, that when she visited the factory, she found a van of Mother Theresa's Asha Dhan parked near canteen. She asked why it was there and was told that Godrej canteen was supplying unused extra food to the inmates. She felt very sorry and ordered the canteen to supply daily freshly cooked food to Asha Dhan. Whether, still they provide, I do not know.
