Ravioli Kids

Transcript

I kind of informally adopted some kids over there where we would feed them. We called them the, “Ravioli kids.” You would give a kid a can of ravioli, like ravioli right? He would take the ravioli out of the can and put it in his pockets. The food wasn’t important, the can was gold for water. And then they would take it over to the cow infested, fecal matter infested water, fill it with water and drink it. It’s just a completely different… I am sure to them that’s, they look at us and go you guys are weird. We look at them and go, this is crazy! So it is what it is. I have seen some awful things. Awful, awful, awful things.

Description

When providing cans of ravioli to the children, Thier soon learns that the can is far more valuable than the food itself!
