Lisbon (Portugal), 22 July (EFE), (Camera: Nacho Ballesteros).- Nepali chef Tanka Sapkota arrived in Portugal 24 years ago and immediately felt he was taken in by the community, a debt he sought to repay in 2020 by delivering 10,500 pizzas to families affected by Covid-19. With the help of donations from local politicians, Tanka has been delivering pizzas to people whose economic or social situations have been affected by the Covid-19 pandemic and the lockdown enforced to contain it. For more than a month he has been going door to door with his mobile pizzeria.

Chef Tanka Sapkota"I wanted to do something that people would admire about my work and that would help the world. I talked to my wife, at a very difficult time, and I told her: we are going to do this work and it is going to cost a lot.""The most beautiful work is done in the most difficult moments.""This has to do with money, with a behaviour and the people who could admire us, that's what matters to us (that people admire them), not the value of money, although it has a high value.""It comes from my family. My father, 91 years old, sold his entire estate and founded a foundation in Nepal for children. It runs in the family. Everything that I have comes from my family."2. Mario Patricio, president of the Park of Nations parish committee:"It is very important to motivate other people to help other people. We in the parish have a problem with people who are not used to asking for help and are ashamed to do so."
