No chairs or tables in sight. But people will be seen sitting on the pavement, waiting for a covered van in Dhaka's Tejgaon, Banani, and Kamalapur every day.
At 2:30pm, the van arrives and parks beside the pavement. Then volunteers get out of the vehicle and approach those who are waiting one by one – starts taking note of their name, age and what good deed they performed that day.
"Bhalo Kajer Hotel" – mainly designed for the rootless, helpless, and street children – does not bill its guests. It arranges food for 600 to 700 poor and low-income people every day in an open space. They do not need money to eat here; all they need is at least one good deed for the day. However, if one fails to perform a good deed, the hotel still feeds such people. But they must do two good deeds the next day.
