Students at St. Peter's Lutheran School are helping fight hunger in Guatemala by volunteering with Love the Hungry, a non-profit organization (非盈利組織).

"St. Peter's Lutheran School has worked with the organization over the last few years. But this year it provided more help by asking larger part of its students to take part," said Scott Krueger, a parent of three daughters who attend the school.

Krueger, who was also volunteering for Love the Hungry, said he felt it was important for students to take part in it and see the importance of their work during the Sept. 13 event." This is one way to try to give back," Krueger said.

That day, the students wore gloves and lined up on both sides of tables in the school. Their job was to scoop (用勺兒舀) food such as rice and other food. The food was provided by Love the Hungry.

Fifth-grader Sydney Johnson was among the hundreds of students who helped and said she felt it was important to make a difference to the hungry people. "It makes me feel good how we all helped out," she said.

Love the Hungry, which was created in 2012, gives great attention to packaging (包裝) healthy meals. Its goal is to help stop malnutrition in young children. Other than Guatemala, Love the Hungry also offers food to Nicaragua, El Salvador, Haiti and countries in West Africa such as Sierra Leone, Mali and Sudan.

Love the Hungry plans to offer 100,000 to 150,000 meals to Guatemala before the end of the year. "It's a part of the world that this type of meal can really help," said Oelker. "We are glad to work with St. Peter's Lutheran School and it shows how volunteers of all ages can make a difference."
