Houses in Calle Real that will have to be abandoned.

The river now threatens the bases of the bridge and the access road to Cortez.


 

Access to Cabanas, Cortez and San Laureano now blocked.


Preparations in the parish using food that was donated by New Horizons and Food for the Poor, clothing donated by Food for the Poor and help from the Tesak Foundation and the Initiative for Peace.

The above fotos demonstrate the packing and identification of the beneficiaries. The packages include rice, rice and soy, clothing (FFP). On the third day the youth prepared hot dog rolls with beans and cheese for the refugee camps.


Most of the refugee camps were organized by the central government with help from the mayors. Our youth coordinated with then to supply the refugees with basic needs, as help arrives we will continue to assist these families.


Helping the “damnificados” who suffer from the rains and mudslides but whom remain in their homes. The fotos below show our people responding to these folks who have no easy access to their homes and have to beg by displaying white flags along the highway. 

The above families live on the High Plateau, a region of farmers with very little access to the highway. We helped every family that required our assistance.
