Bowls Project was conducted

There's a story about a man who left this earth and was taken on a
tour of the inner realms. He was shown a room where he saw a
large
group of hungry people trying to eat dinner, but because the spoons
that
they were trying to eat with were longer than their arms, they remained
frustrated. "This," his guide told him "is hell."
"That's terrible!"
exclaimed the man: "Please show me heaven!" "Very well,"
agreed the
guide and on they went. When they opened heaven's door, the
man was
perplexed to see what looked very much like the same scene: there was a
group of people with spoons longer than their arms. As he
looked
more closely, however, he saw happy faces and full tummies, for there
was
one important difference: the people in heaven had learned to feed each
other.
