We would like to start our report by hoping good health to all of our donors and thanking them for their continued support. This 2020 has been a very challenging year worldwide, but when it comes to Puerto Rico, it has been a little bit more particular as we started the year with several earthquakes in the South of the Island. Then, we were hit by a pandemic and now we are dealing with a severe drought. But, no matter the difficulties, we strongly belief that together we raise stronger as the good resilient people that we have been proven to be.
Given the COVID-19 pandemic, Puerto Rico has been in Stay Home Executive Order since March 15, 2020. This has put on hold all repairs projects in the program. Our main focus these months has been keeping our participants in good health by following all hygiene and preventive methods against COVID-19. Now that we are entering in a less restrictive executive order phase, in regards to the COVID-19, we will start resuming our repairing plans but with great caution to avoid any outbreak in the facility.
Taking into account the budget limitations, we have established a set of priorities in the next several months. We will start by fixing the cover of the electric generator as Hurricane season is here. Then, we will fix the roof of one of the houses and then paint some areas of the facility. All these repairs will have to be made with all our residents in the facility as this year the resident will remain in the program during the month of July due to the Corona Virus pandemic.
