An eye-opening experience has a group of young Sikhs trying to make a difference for the region’s homeless. Last January, the group had an idea to bring food to the needy in Vancouver’s poorest neighbourhood. “We thought, a couple hundred packages should be enough to take care of the Downtown Eastside,” said Jatinder Singh with a laugh at their naiveté. When they saw first-hand that that was just a drop in the bucket, rather than be discouraged the group simply set their sights and goals higher. “It just evolved in that night to a much more aggressive goal,” he said.
