On October 11, the designated team of the parish went to the capital of Panama to buy the different elements to make the kit, these were: plastic flip-flops, soap, toothbrush, towel and bag. In total, some 192 kits were prepared for the migrants, a “little” for the average that is crossing the Darién jungle. The data is alarming, with more than 154,000 migrants who have passed through said jungle until the month of September, and for this day, October 12, it is reported by social networks that there are about 10,000 migrants waiting to cross Necoclí, Colombia to the jungle of Panama.

On October 12 we were a team of 8 people, including members of the RFM and the La Pintada parish. Upon arrival in Zapallal, Darién, we were surprised to find that the government, through the border military (SENAFRON), had evicted 85 migrants from the facilities of the Zapallal chapel, arguing that it is not a appropriate place to receive migrants. Since July 17 of the present, the Christian community of Zapallal has been attending to the migrants who arrive from the jungle. In total, they have assisted some 8,000 migrants. This parish is carried out by the Claretians. Fr. Eric received us and shared how the work is done. They are part of the kitchen team: Migdalia, Marlenis, Esther, Chela, Marta, Gladys, Vicky, Ángela, Alicia. There are other young volunteers in this team who receive the migrants.
