“During this quarantine period, a lot can be said about our current status in society,” Valenciano said. “The violence, the anger, the hate and the fear. But what you see right here is where the strength of our people scream the loudest.”

“I am proud not just of our amazing team of volunteers and frontliners, but the resilience, kindness and generosity many have shown through this very dark time,” he added, alongside a series of photos from their latest visit.
