DISCUSSIONS – ANSWERS – ANNOUNCEMENTS

a.  The video conferencing app Zoom which has come under scrutiny lately for
lapses in security has hired some of the nations best web security
experts.  They are now totally focused on locking down their software.
Part of the problem was caused by hacks of other websites that contained
user emails and passwords.  Some people use the same password on
multiple sites, never a good idea.  Hackers used that data to gain
access into Zoom user accounts.  A heads up to us all, don’t reuse the
same password multiple times on multiple sites.  The password manager
Last Pass (https://www.lastpass.com/) is a great secure alternative to
create unbreakable passwords. The will create and maintain those
password for you.  Last Pass will remember and auto fill your passwords.

Please remember to back up all your data and photos.  Google Photo will
back up all your photos on all devices for free under 12 MP.  Amazon
prime is another great alternative.  I use both of the above along with
a variety of external drives.  Remember, one copy does not mean it’s a
backup.   thecomputerguy@usa.com

b. For those of you that are still here my office is not closed and we still have the same office hours. The difference is we ask you to call or email before coming and the you must use a new entrance I have opened to comply with safety requirements.

** LOS BARRILES FOOD BANK – YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED **

I’m sure you will all agree that THE most important issue at the moment is to feed our town, and we’re pleased to say that the only reason The Los Barriles Food Bank is working is because of you.

These are unprecedented times and we have had to rapidly create the food bank against the backdrop of social distancing and rapidly rising numbers of people with the coronavirus. While we work hard to make this a reality, we wanted to share with you where we are and our plan moving forward while answering some of your questions….

Target: The Los Barriles Delegado has identified a list of more than 600 households who have been impacted by the collapse of tourism across our region that includes Los Barriles, El Cardonal, Boca de Alamo, San Bartolo, Piedras Gordas, Campamento (in partnership with the Spa Food Bank in the early days), El Coro, Buena Vista. Luis (Delegado) is liaising with other Delegados and community members to make this happen. We have some information that the government might be able to provide assistance on this scale at some point. However, in the absence of this now, The Los Barriles Food Bank is extremely important. We will of course keep you updated with any developments here.

Foodstuffs: We are currently creating parcels that include flour, beans, rice, oil, sugar, milk and are using paper bags to minimize environmental impact. We will be topping up the basics with fresh fish and fruit and vegetables depending on availability. Thank you to the Veggie Ladies for their contribution here and to the fisherman who are authorized to go fishing for the community. Chris from Smokey’s has opened up his smoke house to us, and his staff will be preparing the fish and storing it ready for distribution. Thanks Chris!

Donated Foodstuffs: Thank you so much for all the donations of food. They will be added to each parcel until they are gone. We are starting another scheme called ‘Drive Up & Collect’. A number of volunteers will be driving around subdivisions collecting any cans, dried foods, long-life milk etc that you have and would like to share with us. Simply leave them outside your gate on a specified day and time and we will pick them up. We HAVE to make the food stretch for so many and just a couple of cans to you when added together could keep this initiative going for another week.

Distribution: Joe from Joe’s Deli/Joe’s Pizza has cleared out his whole office and has created a dedicated space for storing and packing items. Every day of the week, led by the Delegado and coordinated by Joe, Jeane and the volunteers, teams will be delivering food parcels direct to households. This will ensure no crowds and social distancing requirements are met. We start on Monday April 13th.

Prices: We are fortunate to have both Luis and Joe spearheading the negotiations with suppliers. We benefit from Joe’s experience with wholesalers while Luis has excellent connections in the agricultural regions and with the fishing community.

The Cost: We have calculated that it costs approx. 200 pesos per household to feed them for a week with our parcels. We also have other costs such as gas to deliver parcels. This might fluctuate according to what we are able to secure, but we want to keep it to this level so that we can feed 600+.

Suppliers: It’s important that we source as much from local growers and producers. We are beginning to see that suppliers are now getting anxious because of the staggering fall in demand for their products. This might help us secure foodstuffs at a better price as we progress.

Volunteers: We have a merry band of volunteers but we desperately need more to help pack up the parcels and also to drive around helping to distribute food. We will help to protect you as much as we can through facemasks and gloves and keep social contact to an absolute minimum – perhaps one person with you as the deliverer of the foods. Please email Jeane at jhark29@gmail.com

You The Donors: We will publish a list of donors tomorrow – possibly too much information today! THANKS EVERYONE!

Accountability: We are securing receipts and keeping a very tight eye on the money. Ian Gibson is heading up the accounting supported by Jeane Harkleroad. We will be publishing a reconciliation for all to see in the coming days.

Our Strategy: We don’t know if we will get government help. We hope so, but it’s not yet confirmed. Therefore, as this is a fluid situation with things changing daily, we are currently working on a short term plan to feed 600+ households until the start of July. However, we will be assessing the situation at the end of April/May when we have more information to work with. As you can see, it’s expensive to feed this many people. Our target until the start of July is $68,000 US. We have raised an amazing $55,000 US already thanks to you! So we’re looking for another $13,000 US.

Partnerships: Through Adam Greenberg and Leaders2Give we are working with a team of young ‘future leaders’ from our local Rotary Interact Club who will be assisting with planning, financial reporting, packaging and distribution. The participation of Leaders2Give not only helps us to create and guide new leaders in our community but because they are involved with planning, delivery and reporting US citizens www.leaders2give.org. Thank you also to the Spa Food Bank who have been so generous in helping us reach people in the first weeks as we try to sort out the system.

Donations: We really need your help to raise the additional $13,000. People are being incredibly creative and supportive; from selling cars, their paintings, donating money from yoga classes, from making masks and just emailing friends and clients who love LB and might not realize what’s happening here. We are all feeling the pinch, but even just $20 can feed two families for two weeks. Please please see how you can help us!! Constructive ideas welcome such as an online auction? online raffle from afar?!

And finally: This is a huge project and we are learning by the hour. No-one has had to do this before in our little town – this is way beyond the after effects of a hurricane or earthquake. This is a sustained period of no income for at least six months for good working people in our region. Please bear with us while we do the best we can to make this a success for our community; there will be teething problems but we have over 30 volunteers who are passionate about making this happen.

Best wishes

Joe, Luis, Jeane, Emma, Ian
