“Coming from a city like Sydney it is very difficult to comprehend the scale of poverty in India. Seen against this background CSSG’s charitable efforts are phenomenal. It is easy to forget that such a large number of young men and woman have nothing and have few opportunities open to them. Whilst I was in India it struck me that CSSG’s initiative is so simple yet so powerful a tool that can really change the lives of these young men and woman. It is amazing that such an initiative had not been set up before in India. Using the modern creative sectors to make a change in a fast developing country makes absolute sense to me and CSSG deserves strong kudos for their achievements. India is a country with extremes and to bring together these two dichotomies through food is a worthy venture. CSSG took us to visit some of the young men and woman they help. It was truly an eye opener and placed into context the work CSSG does. They truly have my support and I am happy to make available to them any help I am able to provide.”
