Hi friends and family, 

Robert and a team of medical volunteers are quarantined in Lima for at least the next 15 days.  

They are living with and caring for the 70 refugees from Venezuela and the women who have moved from Cusco. 

So far, everyone is safe and healthy, but the circumstances in Peru are declining quickly. The police and military are strictly patrolling the streets. Over 500 people were arrested in Lima yesterday for walking the streets without proper paperwork. People can only leave to buy food or seek medical care.    

Cases of the virus have increased by 45% in the neighborhood where they are living, and grocery prices are skyrocketing. 

I talked to Robert last night and asked him how people here can support him. He said, "Honestly, we could use more funds to keep feeding and housing the all the people. Most of the people in our program here can't work right now, so money for food, hygiene supplies, and diapers/formula would help a ton!" 

If you can give anything at all, it would be greatly appreciated. I'll keep you posted here on how things are going on the ground there.  

UPDATE: I am still here in Peru awaiting the opportunity to return to the US. In the meantime, we have been raising money to feed both our volunteers and the Venezuelan refugees we are housed with. Thanks to the generous support back home, none of us are going hungry! Please consider giving...even a little goes a Very long way down here!

24 volunteers, including myself were providing love, care and medical attention to 50 Venezuelan refuges in Lima, Peru. Within one day of the country's 15 day quarantine Peru closed their borders to all travel in and out of the country. 

We are now living under Marshall Law with the police and military strictly enforcing their quarantine rules leaving us with limited access to food or supplies for us and the Venezuelans we are living with. 

If you can spare even a few dollars, it would help a ton!

Thank you so much!

A total of 24 of us cane to Peru to provide love and care to Venezuelan refugees in Lima. 3 days into our time here Peru closed it's borders and stopped all travel in or out of the country. We are now stuck in Lima with little access to food or supplies for us or the 50 Venezuelans we are living with.  If you can spare even a few dollars it would help a ton! Thank you so much!
