Hoy shook his head quickly and started waving his hands as he exclaimed, “No, please. No more rice!”
Steung Mean Chey fire victims received more rice from several sources than they could handle and had no way to cook it. The Millers took quick action to arrange and provide for stoves and fuel to solve the problem.
Hoy reported that, “The families will now be able to cook for themselves.” He was pleased with the quality of the items LDSC had provided.
