Supporting Migrants in the Darien: Erley's Story
“I left [Venezuela] eight years ago. I started this journey to have a better future since the salary I earned was not enough to support my three children… For them, I decided to leave my country and arrived in the jungle 10 days ago, six of which were a total hell. It was supposed to be only 3.5 days.”
Erley was traveling through the Darien Gap with a group of fellow migrants when they were taken hostage by an armed group that robbed and assaulted them. He then spent three days helping other migrants in the jungle before stopping due to physical and mental exhaustion, later receiving emergency assistance from PADF and partner organizations, thanks to the support of the U.S. Department of State: Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration.
“Many people here need this help. Today it is me, and many more people behind us are struggling to achieve our dream.”

With the generous support of the U.S. Department of State: Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration, PADF provides humanitarian assistance, emergency health services, and psychosocial support to thousands of migrants and refugees crossing the Darien Gap, one of the most dangerous migrant crossings in the world. After traveling through , many of these migrants enter , where PADF continues to provide health, humanitarian, and protection support.
Lisa, one of thousands such migrants, met with a PADF psychologist at a Migrant Reception Center in the Darien before continuing her journey. Days later, the PADF team was along the northern border between Panama and Costa Rica for a health fair. To the psychologist's amazement, he saw Lisa there. It took her a few moments, but when she saw "PADF" on a blue vest, she recognized him and, with tears in her eyes, she hugged him, thanking him for all the support he gave her, and for making sure she never felt alone.

La extinción de dominio en Panamá
In this opinion piece published in EstrellaOnline de Panamá, PADF justice sector expert Andrés Ormaza argues that asset forfeiture laws promote the rule of law and increase the effectiveness of the legal system. Countries that have adopted such laws are more effective in fighting crime, including drug trafficking. Illegal assets of criminal groups are seized and turned into profitable projects or help finance the work of civil society organizations.

“Los países que han aprobado e implementado leyes de extinción de dominio han logrado no solo combatir más eficazmente el crimen, incluyendo el narcotráfico, sino que bienes ilegítimos de grupos criminales pasen a ser proyectos productivos para comunidades agrícolas [...]”

Ongoing trials by DOST reveal virgin coconut oil’s promising results on treating, managing COVID Virgin coconut oil can possibly help prevent, manage and treat COVID-19 patients, research says. ANCX | Aug 03 2020 The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) is currently doing trials to see how effective VCO is in combatting the COVID-19 virus, but have noted promising results. As trials for coronavirus vaccines are still underway, we are left with no choice but to simply wait and do the necessary safety precautions—wear a mask and a face shield, wash our hands thoroughly, and observe physical distancing. But what if we add another to-do? According to Dr. Fabian M. Dayrit, president of the Integrated Chemists of the Philippines, we’ve got something locally available that can help prevent, manage, and treat novel coronavirus patients—virgin coconut oil (VCO). The doctor has been doing his studies on coconut oil for over 15 years. “There are two general strategies against viral diseases. First, to develop drugs which are directly antiviral, and second, to use the body’s own immune system to defend [itself] against the virus,” noted a research by Dr. Dayrit and Dr. Mary T. Newport, a neonatologist, international speaker, and an advocate for using coconut oil. According to Dr. Dayrit, there are enough studies to prove that VCO has antiviral and immunomodulatory properties. Upon ingestion, coconut oil produces lauric acid and monolaurin, two compounds which have been known for many years to have significant antiviral activity. Dr. Jose Mondejar, medical director Equilibrium Integrative Health Clinic, who had reached out to Dr. Dayrit regarding his VCO studies, gave the oil to 69 residents of Sitio Luz, Barangay Zapatera. They were among the first COVID-19 patients of Cebu City in April. They initially took 1 tablespoon of VCO twice a day, which later increased to thrice a day, he said in an interview with DZMM. Within 2 weeks, 45 of the 69 patients tested negative, while 24 did not develop worse symptoms. Similarly, VCO is also credited for keeping the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center (CPDRC) COVID-free. After taking VCO starting May 15, 7 jail workers with COVID-19 tested negative for the pathogen within a week. Three other workers tested negative within 8 days, he said. The jail has not tallied any new case of COVID-19 since. Dr. Dayrit, who’s also a professor at the Ateneo de Manila University-School of Science and Engineering's chemistry department, clarifies that these are not clinical studies. “They were invited to treat people, not to do a study. What we did was to gather data so that it can be explained more rationally. In 30 days, [the confirmed COVID positive patients] were all eventually negative,” said Dr. Dayrit.

It does not create body damaging free radicals like most cooking oils and the saturated fat is of a type good for the body. 4 hours ago Julia Louis Dreyfus Ongoing trials by DOST reveal virgin coconut oil’s promising results on treating, managing COVID Virgin coconut oil can possibly help prevent, manage and treat COVID-19 patients, research says.

It detoxifies the body and greatly enhances the absorption of nutrients helping alleviate malnutrition. It is highly anticancer. It kills a lage number of deadly viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites. It kills candida which antibiotics do not and does not harm friendly intestinal bacteria. It should be used in any antimicrobial protocal.

We Stand Together Against Racism
Dear Friend,
I was born an American of an immigrant mother and spent the first few years of my life in Nigeria. I grew up believing in racial equality and dignity. It was only at age 14, while with a black family friend here in the United Sates, when we were turned away from a sports event we wanted to join in together, that I began to understand a little of the systemic racism that exists in this country. That friend was Kofi Annan, who went on to become Secretary General of the United Nations. Racism has no place in our world or our country.
How many more lives will be lost before we end systemic racism and racial violence in America? The murders of Ahmaud Arbery, Michael Brown, George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Botham Jean, and Trayvon Martin – among countless others – have triggered a peaceful movement in the United States calling for change. Change in how we view and address social and racial inequities, particularly relating to the safety, inclusion, and human dignity of black communities.
The Pan American Development Foundation (PADF) is committed to creating a hemisphere of opportunity. For ALL. For decades, we have worked with communities of color in Latin America and the Caribbean, working alongside local human rights defenders and grassroots organizations that represent Afro-descendants and indigenous populations, among other marginalized groups. We offer trainings; foster public-private partnerships and sustainable economic opportunities; promote access to education, nutrition, and health care services; and amplify the voices of minority organizations in decision-making processes. We relentlessly support local advocacy efforts and institutional change for the full inclusion and participation of all people.
Yet we can do more. We are now updating our hiring and management practices to promote greater opportunities for black students and professionals and ensure that we are adhering to the highest standards of diversity and inclusion. We are creating safe spaces for internal dialogue and reflection through our communities of practice, the first one led by our Democracy, Governance, and Human Rights team. We are developing education and advocacy tools to encourage our colleagues to become agents of change. We are also launching a fundraising challenge to support black communities. Above all, we are listening, learning, and acting.
Our hearts ache for the families and friends of those who lost loved ones in senseless acts of abuse of power and violence. We stand with you and against systemic racism. We commit our expertise, time, voice, and resources to this effort.
With shared grief and renewed purpose,
Katie Taylor
Executive Director
