We could all learn something from this guy

Props to that guy
for giving them food but also showing them love and care, and that they are equal.

Most people will look at this video and get a little warm inside, reminding them that they're still human.

Having traveled to Nepal just last year and seeing the types of things that was portrayed in this video with my own eyes, I personally started tearing up near the end.
It's really unbelievable how much zeal this guy has, defying all social odds in, of all cultures, India's culture.

Man, what's messed up is that the first thought that comes to mind when I see this video is "what is this guy really getting for doing this? Who is paying him how much money to do this?"

Sad to say that's my take on life, things we do have to have some kind of monetary incentive, although I didn't think in such ways.

honestly, people like this aren't in it for the money.
and if they are, how much do you think he is even making?

I assume inheritance; or something of the like.
He did mention being brought up in a Brahmin community, suggesting he was born pretty high class.

A lot of my parents' well practiced Buddhist friends are higher class people, privileged enough to afford the free time to practice Buddhism, or in his case, charity.

edit: it's also not uncommon for groups of middle to upper classed families to come together for charity. There are many local examples. You can see in the video that even though he's being portrayed as a sort of champion of charity, he does have people helping him.
