Holalola Posted April 24, 2020 Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 Hi Mario. Thanks for posting. Is there a way to contribute financially if I can't volunteer in person? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They want some volunteers to go and get the food and distribute it into bags and hand them out before the food goes bad. Currently they are in the states. Marian is always doing something kind for communities. So if you want to contact her and ask her if she would be willing to take a contribution to doing some of this work I'm sure would let ya know! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
court0503 Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 Quedate en casa...”Stay home” means Stay Home....to slow the travel of the virus. Good intentions surely . these areas are sadly & historically very, very impoverished , for a myriad of reasons having nothing to do with, and existing long before, the Covid-19 pandemic BUT The very insularity of the those villages east of Chapala and those on into our neighbor- municipality of Poncitlan (San Pedro etc.,) right now is their main protection from being hit hard by the virus and will save lives. . Lakeside we are fortunate- the government has placed blockades for us to prevent outsiders coming into our villages and to limit our exposure to a pandemic virus . These villagers aren’t so lucky. there’s no government blockade to prevent well-meaning gringo outsiders from entering their villages (with zero medical services btw — use the existing channels in those local governments to distribute charitable donations. stay home and keep them safe 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
