[News Boquete] Food for the people

Many people in Boquete will know Dr. Daniel Daves and the work being done by *Global Food Providers* here in Chiriquí. In this recent video <https://shareitly.com/click?redirect=https%3A%2F%2Fyoutu.be%2FaJQW44Cy4NA%3Fsi%3DudcKmLzN1r7E9QBV&dID=1789485571868&hashId=8ee5005763cf3b0ca4197de192c50e74f6db0a63dd74816e0233362b31e2eb2167aa42&linkName=this recent video>(click to view), <https://shareitly.com/click?redirect=https%3A%2F%2Fyoutu.be%2FaJQW44Cy4NA%3Fsi%3DudcKmLzN1r7E9QBV&dID=1789485571868&hashId=8ee5005763cf3b0ca4197de192c50e74f6db0a63dd74816e0233362b31e2eb2167aa42&linkName= (click to view),> Daniel gives a closer look at what they are doing and where they hope to take this project next. We wanted to add one important piece of local context: *the Rotary Club Daniel refers to in the video is the Rotary Sunset Club of Boquete. <https://shareitly.com/click?redirect=https%3A%2F%2Frotarysunsetclubofboquete.com%2Fprojects&dID=1789485571868&hashId=8ee5005763cf3b0ca4197de192c50e74f6db0a63dd74816e0233362b31e2eb2167aa42&linkName=Rotary Sunset Club of Boquete.>* This is one example of where the funds our small Rotary club raises throughout the year actually go. Most recently, we helped provide Global Food Providers with the large commercial dehydrator you will see in the video. That equipment allows fresh vegetables and other nutritious foods to be processed into dehydrated food products that can be stored, transported and distributed to people who need them. Global Food Providers is already providing nutritional support to vulnerable families and children throughout Chiriquí and the Comarca, while developing a model that has the potential to reach much further. And the work is far from finished. Global Food Providers is now looking at expanding its processing capacity and facilities so that considerably more food can be recovered, processed and distributed. Their longer-term plans include developing the facilities and licensing needed to extend this work beyond Panama and provide nutritional support where it is desperately needed elsewhere in the world. *The Rotary Sunset Club of Boquete is continuing to raise funds to help them take the next steps.* This is just one of the many projects supported by our club here in Boquete. The money we raise through our events and activities throughout the year is turned back into projects like this — practical, tangible assistance that can make a real difference in people's lives. We encourage you to watch Daniel's video. It gives you a good idea of what is happening almost on our doorstep, what has already been achieved, and what could be possible with further community support. Sometimes a relatively small Rotary club in a small town can help something considerably bigger grow.

[News Boquete] The water will be off Wednesday, 9/15 fin parts of Alto & Bajo Boquete

Alcaldía de Boquete

  ·

ATTENTION, RESIDENTS OF Bajo Boquete AND ALTO BOQUETE

This Wednesday, September 16, starting at 7:30 a.m., a temporary suspension of the potable water supply in sectors of Bajo Boquete and Alto Boquete will be carried out.

The suspension is necessary to continue with the installation of boxes for the drainage of stormwater, which requires the intervention of water pipes located in the area.

There is no estimated time for the restoration of the service. We will be informing about the progress of the work and the normalization of the supply through our official social networks.

We recommend that residents and businesses collect only the necessary water in advance to meet their needs during the day.

Important: As a precaution, a new suspension of the supply may be necessary on Thursday, September 17, to continue with the work. This information will be confirmed in due course through our social networks.

We appreciate your understanding and collaboration as we move forward with a necessary work to improve the management of stormwater and reduce the impacts during the rainy season.

Boquete City Hall.

[News Boquete] 🐱❤️ HAVE YOU READ THE STORY OF “THE CAT LADY OF BOQUETE”?

🐱❤️ *HAVE YOU READ THE STORY OF “THE CAT LADY OF BOQUETE”?* Meet *Gleida Tapiero*, a Panamanian Boqueteña who has dedicated much of her life to helping cats. Read her story in the first edition of *DogCamp Magazine*: 👉 https://dogcampboquete.com/en/newsletter Today, Gleida provides a safe, temporary place for approximately *50 rescued cats waiting for permanent homes*, while also helping feed around *50 more in foster homes*. As cats are adopted, new spaces open for others in need. ❤️ *LET’S SUPPORT BOQUETE’S CAT LADY* You can donate *cat food, litter and supplies* at *DogCamp Home Decor in Alto Boquete*. Donations from this initiative will support Gleida and the cats she helps. But animal welfare is not only about providing food. *Our goal is not to maintain other people’s pets, but to educate and encourage responsible ownership*—helping families understand the importance of keeping their own animals healthy, spayed or neutered, properly cared for and safe. DogCamp Boquete is a *legally established Panamanian NGO, registered with Panama’s tax authorities*, and also operates with *501(c)(3) nonprofit status in the United States*. 🌿🐱 *LOOKING AHEAD* In the near future, DogCamp plans to create a *safe temporary space for rescued cats* in a separate garden area of our property. The goal will always be the same: care, protection and ultimately *a loving permanent home.* Gleida has spent a lifetime helping cats. *Now it’s our turn to support her.* ❤️ -- ___________________________________________________________________ The above message was distributed by /News Boquete/, a free subscription-based community service. /News Boquete/'s _*ONLY*_ public email address is news.boquete@gmail.com.
