He works as an air
conditioner mechanic by the day and shifts to driving taxi by the night. With
such busy work schedule the tireless philanthropist still has the time to feed the
homeless. He cooks up to 30 kilograms of Indian food comprising of rice, chickpeas
and vegetarian curry for FREE. No wonder this migrant cabbie, Tejari Pal Singh
was hence named “Australian of the Day’ for his efforts that he has carried out
for the past 3 years.

Service to the
northern Darwin community
He drives in a van
that carries a signature written as “Free Indian food for hungry and needy
people, provide Sikh family. Tejari Singh dedicates the last Sunday of the
month to feed the poor and homeless locals of northern Darwin community after
he finishes his shift as a cabbie. Although there were response from well
wishers who wished to provide him with the monetary support, he rejects it.
Instead, he asks the fellow community members to donate pots, pans and other
items of use.
Tejari quoted as
saying
“I do something for
the homeless people so they get more energy, so they are happy. My religion
says 10% of your income goes toward needy and poor people – no matter they
belong to your religion or any religion.”

He spends a lot of
time at work and looks like he is not getting sufficient sleep. On top of that,
he is driving a cab at night. He believes that by the act of his giving, it has
provided him with the energy to continue effortlessly. I wish he will stay
healthy. God bless this man.
