I isolated this week to get work done - except for from street folk I always talk to on my walks. It's a hard gig, begging with candy for hours while others look away. Touched base this week with Venezuelan families about Semana Santa plans - who's travelling back with diapers, medicine, and tins of meat; who's staying to send money instead.

Today I learned about the extent of livestock & seed robberies on Venezuelan fincas.

These are very hard times.

Gratitude & mutual aid are essential.
