i.  **Los Barriles Food Bank Update (April 28)**

The LB Food Bank is now in full swing and has developed its own daily rhythm thanks to the great organisation of Joe, Jeane, Michelle, Bill, Luis and many many others.
-Fundraising: We are still around the $120,000 – we can’t be exact because some is actual and some is pledged.  Our current estimate has these funds bringing us into the middle of September.  A good time to take stock and see what is happening and what else, if anything, we will need to do. I’m sure you can all agree that this is a phenomenal amount and shows that, when the going gets tough, the Los Barriles ‘community team’ pulls together.
-Food Donations: Please please continue to buy an item and donate another at La Pitahaya (Veggie Girls) or Joe’s Deli if you can.  This is vital to keeping our stocks going and provides variety.
-‘Thank you’ Roll Call:  Our latest thank you roll call to both volunteers and donors can be seen on our new website https://lbfoodbank.com/  With anonymous donors, we are over 500 now!  As usual, if your name doesn’t appear (volunteer or donor) please let us know emma.nicholson@kwmexico.mx.
-Rations: We have added chicken to the rations because fish was proving to be sporadic.  It is frozen and is transported in coolers.  Chris Moyers, despite closing Smokey’s, is organising the processing and frozen storage of the chicken.  Big hand to Chris and his team for their help!
-Delivery Fleet: Quad Girl ATVs have very kindly let us use their team of drivers and their vehicles for as long as we need them.  This speeds up deliveries and cuts delivery times by up to two hours!  Thank you to Mary and her team for this enormous generosity.
-Costs & Suppliers: Joe is working hard to keep the costs down but it is a fluid situation with the prices of beans and other staples fluctuating due to supply and peso/dollar rate.  Our target is still $200 pesos per ration portion so we hope to be able to hover around this figure.
-Volunteers: It’s phenomenal how many people are pitching in to help; from lending coolers and quads to translating copy and filling ration boxes, this is a HUGE community effort.  Thank you everyone.
-La Ribera and surrounding region: our friends over in La Ribera have formed the La Ribera Food Bank. They also have a Facebook page and you can keep up with their progress. https://www.facebook.com/LRFoodbank We are separate entities because we are in different counties.  However, if you are interested in donating to the La Ribera Food Bank, please visit https://lariberafoodbank.weebly.com/donate.html?fbclid=IwAR2ImZl8SeBh3CpcRKiJBmzeT2hi_bffyzGZ-Tln_E4v4wn-p14ExZocdMY  They are doing a great job finding their feet at the moment and we are liaising closely with them to ensure that we’re not doubling up and we’re all as effective as we can be.
-Finally, we can’t forget the doggies at this time because they also need food.  Thanks to the delivery system, the Los Barriles Food Bank delivered 102kg of dog food that was kindly donated and organized by a group of people including Cortez Rescue, Doug and Terri Foster and others.  It’s important that we keep the dogs fed so that the families don’t abandon them.  If you would like to donate, please go to the Cortez Rescue website:   https://cortezrescue.org/
Thanks everyone  –  Jeane, Joe, Emma, Ian, Luis

e.  4/20/20:  TRAVEL REPORT:  Made it fine to San Ignacio.  San Ignacio Springs yerts are way luxurious and spread out. They are NOT officially open (no advertising) but do have permission for travelers only. Made it from Leonero in 9 1/2 hours. Roads pretty empty. Gas stations open everywhere. No more health checkers after Constitution! Mulaja wide open and no one in masks except us. Easy trip so far.

Day 2:  Travel was easy. 5 hours from the WONDERFUL yerts at San Ignacio Springs to San Felipe.  Road construction with one lane open in a couple spots km 142 and 260 (that one is north of the turn off for LA Bay) The sign marking hwy. 5 is down so be alert. Tons of new pavement, the wild flowers are in full bloom, a few rocks to watch for o  the road, gas everywhere and take out food readily available.  Only delay was the crowded border crossing at San Luis Rio Colorado because Algodones was closed. All web info said Algodones was open till 10 PM but there was zero line and we were feeling soooo lucky till we got to the gate and it was locked. We got to the crossing at SL Rio Colorado at about 4:30 on a Sunday evening so it took about 3 hours. No secondary thank goodness! We got the last room at a Motel 6 in Yuma. Only take out at restaurants…safe travels everyone

Jai my older, slower dog has been missing from our morning walk since around 8.30, she often drops behind me and jack, the small black one, and sits to wait for me – I walked further this morning up around gustavo’s new park and got side tracked talking with Bill and Devi – jai never got that far and was nowhere to be seen when I walked back – I’ve driven around and around the back roads up there and the beach trails – talked to people – hoping she comes home, she needs water and food – I would appreciate a post and photo – Tessa    tessabarriles@gmail.com

FOOD BANK UPDATE- April 17, 2020
Overwhelming isn’t the word… our lovely community has rallied round to help the people of our region and between us we have managed to raise over $90,000 US in literally 3.5 weeks!
This is truly good people helping good people. (Some of this amount is actual and some is pledged).
We estimate that we can now feed everyone until August. But… based on latest information, we believe we will be needed through to Fall.  As we try to establish the distribution system, there have been some bumps along the way.  However, for an initiative that has only been in place since the middle of March, everyone has risen to the challenge.  Here is our latest update so that you can see what is going on:
*Households: This has been our first week and we have delivered over 500 food rations based on the list from the delegacions/communities.  Our target is now 750 – and based on the flood of inquiries, we won’t have a problem fulfilling this. We had originally estimated 600/650. We have been talking to EVERY household so that we know their actual needs, family sizes and so on.  The forthcoming weeks won’t be as slow, but this ‘census’ has been vital to getting the requirements right.  We were encouraged for example by families in El Cardonal who said that they have enough food for the next two weeks, but after that, they would need us.  It’s good to know that people are being considerate of the wider community. Then, in other areas, we have been shocked that people have had nothing and have resorted to extremes such as borrowing money so that they have been able to buy food for the past two weeks.
* Revised Target:  Like the rest of the world, this is a fluid situation. A lot has changed since the Delegacion first estimated 650 households; some we thought would need support don’t, but other good people not on the radar have since reached out and requested help.  Our earlier goal/time line was set at July but with more information about government action re the coronavirus protocol, realistically it’s going to be end of October.  We are getting 100 ‘parcels’ for the whole delegacion from the government of La Paz County (this includes Los Barriles, San Bartolo, El Coro etc).  While useful, unfortunately, they’re not enough to create balanced meals so we are using these donations to add to the LB Food Bank supplies.  There may be support coming from Cabo County (Buena Vista south to Cabo). But so far unconfirmed. So, we are now revising our target upwards to $150,000 US to feed 750 households until end October which is when we hope people should start to come back to town.  However, if we do get more support from the Government/authorities, obviously we will revise this target and we will let you all know as soon as we hear. Wouldn’t it be great if we weren’t needed at all?!
*Donating: We hope to get our dedicated LB Food Bank peso account confirmed at Intercam in the next day or so and we will share that as soon as possible – delays due to Semana Santa etc.  However, if you wish to donate, please do so through the following:
• US tax deductible: www.leaders2give.org  go to Los Barriles Food Bank.
• Check: Please emailgibson.ian@outlook.com for account number.
• Wire:  Please email gibson.ian@outlook.com for  instructions.
• Venmo & Paypal:  Jeane Harkleroad at
jhark29@gmail.com.
• Transferwise – https://transferwise.com/  Email Jeane at jhark29@gmail.com for peso account.
• Cash – cash is also accepted at Joe’s Deli.
• Any other questions, please email
*Donating Foodstuffs: Please do continue to donate dry foods, canned foods, long-life milk etc.  We need to keep the rations going for as long as possible, and this is a great way of doing it.  We are keeping back much of this food as it lasts longer.  It will be invaluable as we get into the summer.
*Donor List: We will be publishing the weekly list of contributors on Monday on Facebook, so if your name hasn’t appeared yet, we hope it’s there on Monday.  If you don’t see your name, please let us know although we do have donations coming in from numerous routes and it takes our small team some time to reconcile!
*Costs/Suppliers: We are still working to a figure of $200 pesos per household per week.  However, Joe and Luis are working tirelessly to get us better deals.  They have already negotiated 20% off bulk prices such as milk.  However, unfortunately we are seeing some costs increase.  For example, the cost of beans from our supplier has nearly doubled.
*The Response: We have been met by many people who just want to say thank you for the food parcels.  It’s hard to feature them all, but if you go to our Facebook page, many of the Rotary Interact young people have been videoing the families and their beautiful thank you messages. This is all with permission and something they have wanted to do. The team of Interact young people from Los Barriles has been wonderful – showing up early and working hard all day long.
*Volunteers: This is a true coming together of our community.  We have many great volunteers making a difference from a variety of different cultures, backgrounds and ages all helping one another – Mexican, American, Canadian, European.  Apologies if you have tried to volunteer but haven’t heard from us.  Please don’t feel disheartened!  We have been overwhelmed with emails! However, we believe that we will continue to need people as this is an on-going activity.  So, we are creating a list and we will continue to reach out to people as we work through this list, and as rotas change over the weeks.  Additionally, Joe is reducing the numbers of drivers and volunteers required as we go into the second week as we will be focusing more on delivery and less time on additional census activity. This will also help social distancing.
*Social Distancing: We believe we are getting better at encouraging our volunteers to observe social distancing and hygiene practices.  Every volunteer will now be issued with a briefing sheet on how to behave; masks are mandatory and the appropriate use of gloves is encouraged. Each car has sanitizer provided for use for those volunteers who exit the cars.
*Partners: The Spa Food Bank is providing an excellent service by feeding the people of El Coro and others.  Thank you guys!  Also thank you to Adam, Tracey, Deb and Leaders2Give for helping to get donations to the right place.   We are also trying to help groups beyond our region set up initiatives to help their own people as it is starting to get critical beyond our boundaries too.
*Community Spirit:  From trailers, additional lock-up space, valuable input on needy households, loans of trucks, donations of gas, people sending out emails to their networks…. the list goes on… it would be too long to list everyone who has contributed essential non-financial support to make the Food Bank work. A huge hug and thank you to these people!
*And Finally…. As with all new initiatives, there’s going to be criticism.  But please know that we are trying to address any wrinkles that crop up.  We welcome constructive comments because that’s how this initiative will get sharper.  But at a time when we may not all be feeling ourselves because of the current climate, let’s not throw rocks at one another. Please don’t curb the team’s and the community’s enthusiasm (and culture) because of your own personal optics.  If you have a question or concern, please address it directly to us so that we can develop a solution.  Let’s work together to get through these unprecedented times – and come out the other side as an even stronger, more tight-knit community.
Thank you

Note:  A couple of questions I have been asked and hoping someone has answers straight from the horses mouth!  1.  Is there some kind of trash pickup schedule so folks can know when to put the cans/bags out?  2.  Any word on the beach restrictions, like allowing residents to walk and exercise?

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.
