“Now we’re going to the supermarket. We’re going to bless the lives of some families who are shopping. I saw this in a video on the internet, I don’t remember who did it… And since I’m in the food project, (…) I want to see people who are in a more complicated situation and we’re going to try to bless them with the value of the purchases,” he explained.
