Delivering Covid-19 Survival Kits by Horseback!

Thanks to your help, Councilwoman Peñaloza was able to fund and form a community brigade to address the needs of these outlying communities. The group drove as far as they could and then transferred the food, medicine, clothing, and propane to horseback. After three hours of riding, they reached communities far beyond Cajas Patúl.

Volunteers pack a horse for a trip up into Cajas, high in the sierra.
