The Paulites of Belgaum Worldwide (PBW), inspired by St. Paul’s values of "Men for Others," recently demonstrated their commitment to service by supporting aspirants of the Territorial Army recruitment drive in Belagavi. 

These aspirants, who traveled from all over India, came from economically weaker backgrounds, yet they arrived in Belgaum with hopes of serving our nation as soldiers. In response, the Paulites extended extraordinary compassion. PBW volunteers began distributing free meals the night before the recruitment began, initially serving over 800 meals.

By the next day, more than 2,500 aspirants were provided with nourishing pulao. Seeing a few left without food inspired the alumni to take further action, ensuring no one went hungry. A call for donations received overwhelming support, resulting in over 10,000 plates of food being served in the following days.
