There is one man though who has always enjoyed staying with rats, even when he was a young boy. His name is Bart Weetjens and he comes from Belgium in Europe. As he grew up, he learned everything about rats. He knew that they have a very strong sense of smell. He realized that it might be possible to train rats to help solve a problem that troubled some Southeast Asian countries.

Clearing away unexploded bombs and landmines(未爆炸的炸彈和地雷) is a difficult job. Bart began to train rats to look for explosives. Because a rat’s sense of smell is so strong, they are able to smell a thing known as TNT that is used in bombs. And because rats are not heavy, if they place their weight on an unexploded bomb, they will not cause it to explode(爆炸).

Bart chose African Giant Pouched Rats for the job. They are well known for being calm and smart. Training begins when they are about six weeks old, and it lasts for nine months. Once trained, one rat can search up to 200m in 20 minutes. The same area would take a human up to four days. Trained rats are known as Mine Detection Rats, or MDRs, and they have worked successfully in Cambodia since 2015.

"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."
