"Pater Lievens bij 't aankoopen van rijst voor zijn schooljongens." Father Lievens serves rice to school boys outside a small building. On the back is printed, "'We leefden in armoe te Torpa. Ons gewoon eten bestond uit rijst, zwarte koffie en geroosterd brood.' (brief van Pater Lievens' metgezel.)" A letter written by Father Lievens' companion describes the relative poverty. They ate rice, black coffee, and toast.
