Until new supplies are donated, I would suggest these poor families go and camp out in Kellaki, and the village idiot can share his lunch round.

They can also visit Dikomo, the biggest idiot Cyprus ever produced comes from there.

Severe remarks are always funny,
but now it's time to take a little walk, spend a few Euros and take life's essentials to one of the dropp-off-points.

Is there a similar organisation in LImassol?

This is quite alarming. It's not funny either guys.

We have increasing demands on food banks in the UK too. Surprisingly some of the people who use them are hard working, low paid people who responsibly pay their way, and their bills, but with nothing left to feed themselves. It's not funny being low paid and having the enormous headache of how to feed your children after your wage is swallowed by mortgage/rent utilities and taxes.

My cupboards and pockets are practically bare, but if I lived in Cyprus I'd be happy to share the little I have, with someone who has nothing in this current time. Especially the excess vegetables I grow, something I do often here....share it out people!

How does this work, cash or products?

HI GR

Both are welcome; I cannot recall the lady's telpehone number but it was on local radio this morning. Maybe an internet search would provide the answer.

There's a shameful waste of agricultural products from what I've seen. Things left to rot or thrown away by the more affluent who still have fields to produce crops.

The village Co-Ops could do a lot more to help, and of course improving agricultural practices to minimize waste should be a government priority.

Many migrants and destitute families are seasonal farm-workers who are never paid enough to have reserves to last the quieter seasons. No one should go hungry in a place like Cyprus.

Selfishness and greed. 'It's mine' mentality.

Even on a small plot of land, I can grow far more than my family needs. When there is too much, what is the point in letting it rot? Give it away to someone who needs it!
Landowners of the fresh produce variety in Cyprus should be ashamed!
