A soccer field becomes a refugee camp

Publicado por el 9:33 am en Uncategorized

A few days ago a 150 program participants showed up. Some with their families. As of Thursday, we had 50 families camping on site. They are being provided with food and water and are being sheltered by self-made or donated tents.
Boby hooked up with Doctors without Borders on the first days of the earthquake by assisting them at the airport. In the absence of people at LADH, he went elsewhere to help. It paid off, since they are now caring for the injured in our site.
Boby needs coolers (igloos), more tents, food and hygiene supplies. Any donations at this time will be use to buy these and send from Puerto Rico or Florida as soon as possible. I have already included LADH in a massive distribution that will take care on Tuesday. A big boat is coming from San Juan and Boby is among it’s recipients.
As expected, the people at LADH are maintaining order, Boby along with them are collecting whatever bricks were left of the wall surrounding the soccer fields to built a secure structure around the kitchen in order to ensure order during massive food distributions.
People like you have called or emailed from all parts of the world to ask for Boby and the children. It’s been amazing to see how people are touched by our program and Boby’s big heart!
