Robin Hood Army spreads its wings to Karachi

New Delhi, February 14: After successfully feeding homeless and destitutes across a few Indian cities, the Robin Hood Army (RHA) is launching its Karachi arm on Sunday when India Pakistan will lock horns at the World Cup 2015 in Adelaide. The RHA, a collective effort of two friends who have collaborated with different restaurants and eateries in Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Kolkata and Bangalore to "serve the poor and destitute", have found a "genuine" partner in Karchi-based Sarah Afridi to start its Pakistan chapter. "The inequalities are similar in both India and Pakistan. So, ever since the Peshawar (school) attack, we have been thinking of doing something together and reach out to people who are needy," Neel Ghose, one of those behind the initiative, told IANS.

That happened when they found a reliable partner in Afridi, who was impressed with RHA's philanthropic activity. The two have been friends since their London School of Economics days and were in constant touch. "I have been following RHA's Facebook page and I was amazed to see how this initiative is catching up in India, especially among youngsters. So, I just got interested and thought why not start a Karachi arm," Afridi told IANS on the phone from Karachi. So the duo has chosen an epic day â- the India-Pakistan World Cup match on Sunday â- to start this new chapter. (ians)
