Question

【题目】 Located a few blocks away from the White House, Sakina Halal grill in Washington DC is a restaurant with a difference. Enter during the busy lunch time and you will find businessmen and women eating side by side with the homeless. The owner Kazi Mannan, who is from Pakistan, would not run it in any other way.

Growing up in a village with no electricity, running water or even a building for a school, Kazi is familiar with poverty (贫穷) and hunger. Even in those hard days, whenever his mother Sakina cooked for her own children, she would provide some for her neighbours as well.

When Kazi reached America, he only had three dollars in his hand. With the help of a Pakistani bus driver, he finally earned a down payment (首付款) on a restaurant.

The first thing he did was change the name of the restaurant. He named it after his mother Sakina Halal Grill, whom he lost 26 years ago. But he did not stop there, Keeping his mother’s teachings in mind, he not only used her old recipes (菜谱) but also decided to let the homeless eat at his restaurant for free. On the opening day of the restaurant, Kazi personally walked to the nearby park and invited the homeless there to have food at his restaurant.

Many friends said, “Don’t let homeless people come inside your restaurant. They will ruin your business. “But I don’t care. If I fail, I fail!” said Kazi Mannan.

In less than 5 years, Sakina Halal Grili has risen to such popularity that Kazi is able to feed over 16, 000 people for free every year. He also prepares extra food on Sundays for nearly 50 homeless people at the Georgetown Ministry Center. His deeds (事迹) encourage locals to volunteer there as well.
