Dear Florent,

I would suggest that this might be:
Cook the rice for the girls in the hall!

If it was the former, the 'saalaaya.m' would probably be placed closer
to the parts of the sentence it qualifies. Also it seems to make more
sense this way - one would cook in the kitchen and take the food to
the hall.

With metta, John
