A youth organization is completing its second annual Easter project - and this year it is feeding the homeless. Youths Creating Talent is an organization created and run entirely by youths, and instead of spending the Easter relaxing under the sun, they have been serving food to homeless people in Battlefield Park.

Today they served 130 plates of food, and Justin Gill, the founder of the organization, told us what made them take the initiative.



Justin Gill - Founder, Youths Creating Talent
"This is our second annual Easter project, where we have assisted 60 homeless of Belize City, giving them the privilege to have a nice breakfast, lunch and supper for the Easter season. Many times, I walk on the street, and they see me; they look at me. They ask me for something to eat; they don't have anything, and I know what it's like not eating. For the whole Easter, we know that everybody usually go out to try to enjoy themselves, and nobody is here. We know that Easter is very hot, and you could get dehydrated, so that is when we try to come out and give them food. We give them something to drink, to cool them down, so that they themself could have a very nice Easter too. So far, we have given out more than 200 plates of food from the past days that we have been assisting these homeless. This morning, we assisted 70 people with breakfast, and for this afternoon, we have assisted 60 people with dinner."

Tomorrow is the last day of the project, and by then, they will have given away about 300 plates of food.
