Bystanders watch as homeless man, Rakesh, is bathed by Sister Christobel Fonseca on a sidewalk outside a church in Mumbai. Volunteers from “Mother Teresa’s Roses,” armed with cleaning and medical supplies, find destitute people on the streets and bathe them, clean their wounds and give them a haircut.
