To continue to support the most vulnerable at this critical time, the organizations have launched donation platforms with the aim of sending a family basket to those who are part of the school program during the quarantine.     #### #### To help PBO and MIR continue this important work, please contribute on one of the following links:http://pbo.org.do/donar-ahorahttps://www.mircharities.org/donations  #### #### Control Measures The environment seems to change daily and the following is an update on what we are currently doing on property. • The government in the Dominican Republic has declared a state of emergency and has closed all flights and cruise ships coming into and out of the country.
