Cooked Spaghetti...

... for children living in the informal settlers community near my place.
Managed to make 30 packs. Instead of using ground pork or beef, I used tuna. I also added finely chopped and diced potatoes, carrots, and eggplants to add more nutrition to the spaghetti.
It is my small way in helping others. These children belong to urban poor families. The extended pandemic has made things harder for them.
With these spaghetti packs, I hope that they get the nourishment that they need.

@allen0187 that is great. Did you coordinate with LGU or you just go there and give it to them

@rakski no, I did not. I live near the place. Some of the people in the community are people I know.

They will. You're a good samaritan making food to donate! You're compassionate. The community is lucky they've got you.

I do it because it is the right thing to do during this pandemic.

@louievill well, I did not do it to get something back, I did it because it is the right thing to do.

@jobelbojel there are valid ones and there are toxic ones. Best that you differentiate one from the other.

Yuck! They must be hungry if they will eat tuna in spaghetti!
And here I was going to suggest you send me a pack of it. I know better than to eat your cooking now!

Sad to think that hunger and malnutrition are problems in this world and so is food wastage.

That is my other goal, not just to feed them but also feed them something nutritious.

Cool. It's always good to share what we have. We also give food to kids that call from our gate asking for money.

I can cook but most of the time I'm too lazy to do it.

@LadyDuck true.
People who have more than enough must share what they can to those who are in need.
