What does "Tapori" mean? |
 |
During a trip in India, Joseph Wresinki met children who lived in the street or in train stations. They were called "Tapoori."
These children collected the leftover food that travellers left on the trains. They then shared with the other children from their group so each had something to eat.
When he came home, Joseph wrote to other children,
"You’re like the Tapoori when you do whatever you can to try to build a world of friendship, where there’s no more poverty."
He named the network of friendship that he created Tapori to honor these children who had a difficult life but knew how to stick together.
