Cooking The Rice I Donated

When I arrived in the dump today I handed out to care packages with rice and other goodies. I gave the rice to two families that live in a newly occupied area of the dump. These new families (5 or 6?) do not have any bamboo/wooden shacks they live in lean-too type things made from whatever they find in the dump. I need to give out another 2 packages to this same group tomorrow but this time to different families.

About 1 hour after I had given the rice out one of the families was boiling rice in a small pot over an open flame fire, the pot was set up on some rocks. It was very rewarding to see the rice I given out being used and at least helping the family a little bit.
