So he</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10pt;">packed up their few belongings and brought them all down the mountain to live with</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10pt;">his sister and her family on the land whose owner allowed them to stay there in</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10pt;">exchange for maintaining it. Rigoberto has a large family that includes his wife</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10pt;">Liliana, his three daughters, Itzl 8, Darlin 6. Kelysneth 5, his two sons Royber 3,</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10pt;">Roderick 1 and his mother-in-law. They constructed another zinc and bamboo house</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10pt;">on the property and bought chickens and seed corn to help feed both families.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10pt;">There is no electricity, but they have been able to tap into a water line. During the</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10pt;">rainy season the nearby creek serves as a washing machine for both moms and a</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10pt;">swimming hole for all the kids.</span></p><p class="last-child"> </p></div></td></tr><tr><td class="mceSpacing-24" align="center" valign="top"><a href="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=3FF9TG9ZKQYV8&source=url" target="_blank"><img src="https://dim.mcusercontent.com/cs/7f7410dde77c5232388bd9372/images/538292ea-f209-ca40-1ae8-40a921ffdea4.jpeg?w=483&dpr=2" alt="Donate here" width="483" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="mceSpacing-24" valign="top"><div class="mceText"><p><span style="font-size:10pt;">It turned out to be a bad time to find a job in this area. The first hit was, of course,</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10pt;">Covid. What resulted were the consequences of shut downs, new energy policies ,</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10pt;">and then the inability to buy or afford vegetable seeds and fertilizer. Many</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10pt;">agricultural and food-processing plants in the area again laid off workers and now</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10pt;">the job market was flooded with these laborers. Still Rigoberto looks for work every</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10pt;">day and plants corn and root vegetables for his family’s cook pot. He sets up a</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10pt;">treadle-driven sewing machine out under a tree so that Grandma can sew native</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10pt;">dresses to sell in the village.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10pt;">But kids are kids, and poverty is neither new nor stressful for them. There is school in</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10pt;">the rainy season, games to play outside in the sunshine during dry season, dogs and</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10pt;">chickens to chase, and always one another for companionship. Plus, every morning</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10pt;">and every evening they gather around the cook-stove to each get their bowl of rice</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10pt;">and beans.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10pt;">Thankfully, their situation and their daily diets have improved. It only took a couple</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10pt;">of weeks before nearby <a href="http://www.buenosvecinosdeboquete.com/how-you-can-help/" target="_blank">Buenos Vecinos</a> volunteers discovered them and saw how</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10pt;">much assistance both families needed. They were soon accepted into the program</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10pt;">and now every month they receive canned fish and meat, powdered milk, pasta, oil,</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10pt;">cream cereals, flour, salt, (more) rice and beans and even a chocolate bar to share.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10pt;">Each month there is also a new vegetable plant to add to their garden, thanks to the</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10pt;">BVB Food Start program. Life is looking a little brighter for these families and there</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10pt;">are plenty of smiles and happy waves “hello” whenever they see their BVB</span></p><p class="last-child"><span style="font-size:10pt;">volunteers.</span></p></div></td></tr><tr><td class="mceSpacing-24" valign="top"><table id="section_afd3a50beccf9f298d5aa081f6707692" border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center"><tbody><tr class="mceRow"><td valign="top"><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tbody><tr><td class="mceColumn" colspan="12" valign="top" width="100%"><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tbody><tr><td align="center" valign="top"><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center"><tbody><tr class="mceRow"><td valign="top"><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tbody><tr><td class="mceColumn" colspan="12" valign="top" width="100%"><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tbody><tr><td valign="top"><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center"><tbody><tr class="mceRow"><td valign="top"><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="24" cellpadding="0"><tbody><tr><td class="mceColumn" colspan="12" valign="top" width="100%"><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tbody><tr><td class="mceSpacing-24" valign="top"><div class="mceText"><h1 class="last-child">Wanted:</h1></div></td></tr><tr><td class="mceSpacing-24" valign="top"><div class="mceText"><p class="last-child">A person with a pick-up to help BVB as a volunteer to transport one-hundred Food-Start jugs from a farm in Palmira to the Handicap Center (across from Chop Sticks Chinese Restaurant) the last Thursday of each month.

<p><span style="font-size:14pt;">As we mentioned almost a month ago, we will be hosting, very soon, a <strong>Retire in Panama Live Q & A for Canadians Only!</strong></span><br /><span style="font-size:14pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>Monday, September 26th, at 8 PM Eastern</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>This Q & A hosted by fellow Canadian, Rod,</strong> and will address special concerns that Canadians face moving to Panama like:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>Topics:</strong></span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size:14pt;">No Universal Healthcare</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size:14pt;">Foreign Exchange, Banking, and getting your money to Panama</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size:14pt;">Becoming a Non-Resident of Canada, or not, for Tax purposes</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size:14pt;">Best phone number service to keep Canadian numbers</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size:14pt;">Bringing your Pets from Canada to Panama</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size:14pt;">And anything else Canada related</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size:14pt;">No Tim Hortons (Once you taste Panamanian Coffee, you will forget Tims)</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><br /><strong>So if you know what "poutine" is, or what a "double double" is, or who Bob & Doug McKenzie are, and you are considering moving to Panama, then you need to be registered for this event.</strong></span></p>

Many of our families planted the sweet potato root we placed in their July food bags with simple-to-follow instructions. Even more indicated they would plant this latest batch they received in their August bags. With this last batch to be delivered in late September, our families will have an on-going harvest for the next few months. And by replanting the hundreds of roots and runts from all of these harvests, they are well on their way to creating their own sweet potato farms.</span><p><span lang="en-us" xml:lang="en-us">New vegetables and fruits will soon be added; papaya, and moringa trees, yucca and other favorites like guandu beans (pidgeon peas) will be our next endeavors. Guandu is to the Panamanian holiday table what cranberries, green bean casserole or roast turkey are to the U.S. holiday meal.</span></p><p><span lang="en-us" xml:lang="en-us">To help us with this ambitious program we only need to look within our own volunteer ranks. John Rhoades is a new but very active and energetic BVB volunteer. He packs and delivers food to families, and now he has taken on the job as Food-Starter Coordinator. His interest and experience in agriculture and his access to a local greenhouse owner and other resources make him the perfect choice to spearhead this important program helping our families learn how to grow some of their own food. Thank you, John!</span></p></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table class="mcnImageBlock" border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tbody class="mcnImageBlockOuter"><tr><td class="mcnImageBlockInner" valign="top"><table class="mcnImageContentContainer" border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="left"><tbody><tr><td class="mcnImageContent" valign="top"><img class="mcnImage" src="https://mcusercontent.com/7f7410dde77c5232388bd9372/images/c9ae178f-6813-a0fc-46ed-288feb1b2249.jpeg" alt="" width="518" align="middle" /></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table class="mcnDividerBlock" border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tbody class="mcnDividerBlockOuter"><tr><td class="mcnDividerBlockInner"><table class="mcnDividerContent" border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tbody><tr><td> </td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table class="mcnTextBlock" border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tbody class="mcnTextBlockOuter"><tr><td class="mcnTextBlockInner" valign="top"><table class="mcnTextContentContainer" border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="left"><tbody><tr><td class="mcnTextContent" valign="top"><h2 class="null"><span lang="en-us" xml:lang="en-us">Family of the Month Luis and Irma</span></h2></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table class="mcnImageGroupBlock" border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tbody class="mcnImageGroupBlockOuter"><tr><td class="mcnImageGroupBlockInner" valign="top"><table class="mcnImageGroupContentContainer" border="0" width="273" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="left"><tbody><tr><td class="mcnImageGroupContent" valign="top"><img class="mcnImage" src="https://mcusercontent.com/7f7410dde77c5232388bd9372/images/9ba57c64-8274-ed8f-9b0f-2a703d98d961.jpeg" alt="" width="264" /></td></tr></tbody></table><table class="mcnImageGroupContentContainer" border="0" width="273" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="right"><tbody><tr><td class="mcnImageGroupContent" valign="top"><img class="mcnImage" src="https://mcusercontent.com/7f7410dde77c5232388bd9372/images/91bcb96d-ce3a-422c-2af7-2901906c91e5.jpeg" alt="" width="264" /></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table class="mcnTextBlock" border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tbody class="mcnTextBlockOuter"><tr><td class="mcnTextBlockInner" valign="top"><table class="mcnTextContentContainer" border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="left"><tbody><tr><td class="mcnTextContent" valign="top"><span lang="en-us" xml:lang="en-us">Though he does not own this rambling cattle ranch, Luis manages it for an absentee owner who pays him only $180 a month. Luis and his family care for the herd, clear the fallen trees, mend fences, and maintain the property using two horses. There is no machinery and everything must be done by hand. It is a hot dirty job that requires their attention every day. Luis is willing to take on this big responsibility to support his wife Irma and their six children. They live on the ranch in a two-room house of bamboo walls with a zinc roof. They use cardboard to sleep on to protect them from the dampness of the dirt floor. Their outside kitchen consists of a wood stove and cooking utensils and pots that are old and almost unusable.</span><p><span lang="en-us" xml:lang="en-us">The oldest daughter named after her mother is seventeen and was born without a tongue, but her disability does not affect the way she lovingly cares for all of her younger siblings. She has two sisters, Juana, 15 and Odilia, 12 and three brothers Domingo, 12 Eugenio, 10 and Lazaro, 5. None of the family can read or write. The younger children would like to attend school, but there is no money for uniforms, shoes or school supplies. They are a close-knit family and have little contact with others beyond the ranch, so they have struggled through these problem with little or no help until now.</span></p><p><span lang="en-us" xml:lang="en-us">When we heard of this family’s living conditions we immediately accepted them for a double-portion of food. Two of our <a href="http://www.buenosvecinosdeboquete.com/how-you-can-help/" target="_blank">BVB</a> volunteers sprang into action and donated a large collection of pots and pans. The volunteer who brought this family to our attention approached a local hostel that was renovating their property and was able to secure the donation of three like-new mattresses for the family. We are also finding out more about what can be done to get some of these children in school.</span></p><p><span lang="en-us" xml:lang="en-us">Though this family represents some of the most extreme examples of hardship we encounter at <a href="http://www.buenosvecinosdeboquete.com/how-you-can-help/" target="_blank">BVB</a>, their story is not unusual. Panama is also experiencing inflation, food shortages and supply change disruptions like much of the rest of the world. However, in July nation-wide demonstrations and strikes that blocked the country’s primary highway caused additional damage to the agricultural industry resulting in mass layoffs of farm workers and other food industry laborers. We thank all of our newsletter and social media readers for their continued prayers, kind thoughts and donations of any size as we endeavor to help our neighbors in need.</span></p></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table class="mcnImageCardBlock" border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tbody class="mcnImageCardBlockOuter"><tr><td class="mcnImageCardBlockInner" valign="top"><table class="mcnImageCardBottomContent" border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="right"><tbody><tr><td class="mcnImageCardBottomImageContent" align="left" valign="top"><a title="" href="http://www.buenosvecinosdeboquete.com/how-you-can-help/" target="_blank"><img class="mcnImage" src="https://mcusercontent.com/7f7410dde77c5232388bd9372/images/6bbea39c-2f76-9dd8-99fe-506bc8c57aa8.jpeg" alt="" width="564" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="mcnTextContent" valign="top" width="546"><span lang="en-us" xml:lang="en-us">Irma and kids admiring the mattresses donated by Wanakaset Panama, a hostel in Macano de Cochea and their representative, Mariel.</span></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table class="mcnDividerBlock" border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tbody class="mcnDividerBlockOuter"><tr><td class="mcnDividerBlockInner"><table class="mcnDividerContent" border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tbody><tr><td> </td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table class="mcnTextBlock" border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tbody class="mcnTextBlockOuter"><tr><td class="mcnTextBlockInner" valign="top"><table class="mcnTextContentContainer" border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="left"><tbody><tr><td class="mcnTextContent" valign="top"><h2 class="null"><span lang="en-us" xml:lang="en-us">Volunteers of the Month Trish and Brian Christofferson</span></h2></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table class="mcnImageBlock" border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tbody class="mcnImageBlockOuter"><tr><td class="mcnImageBlockInner" valign="top"><table class="mcnImageContentContainer" border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="left"><tbody><tr><td class="mcnImageContent" valign="top"><img class="mcnImage" src="https://mcusercontent.com/7f7410dde77c5232388bd9372/images/3c979a35-0e5f-3cb5-8cd0-4feeb9ef6fdd.jpeg" alt="" width="564" align="middle" /></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table class="mcnTextBlock" border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tbody class="mcnTextBlockOuter"><tr><td class="mcnTextBlockInner" valign="top"><table class="mcnTextContentContainer" border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="left"><tbody><tr><td class="mcnTextContent" valign="top"><p><span lang="en-us" xml:lang="en-us">Trish and Brian have been faithful <a href="http://www.buenosvecinosdeboquete.com/how-you-can-help/" target="_blank">BVB</a> volunteers since 2008.
