These volunteers in La Paz Bolivia are on their way to visit newly adopted grandparents. It's part of an effort to look after older people of limited means during the pandemic. Many of the seniors don't have relatives nearby who can help,so volunteers stepped in to fill the gap. They bring food to people like this 93-year-old woman and her 85-year-old husband. And to this woman who lost her home in a mudslide and now lives in a tent in the woods. The volunteers wear protective gear to help curb the spread of Covid-19. Some of the elderly qualify for government aid,but they lacked the proper identification needed to clean food packages. This is a big help because there are a lot of people who don't have these. Thank you very much for doing this.

在玻利维亚拉巴斯的这些志愿者们正在前往探望他们新认养的祖父母的路上。这是在疫情期间，为照顾经济能力有限的老人们而能做的部分努力。许多长者在附近没有亲人可以帮忙，所以志愿者们介入来填补这一空缺。他们把食物带给那些像这个93岁的妇女和她85的丈夫这样的人。也会带给这个在泥石流中失去家园的妇女，她现在住在树林中的帐篷里。志愿者们穿着防护服，以帮助遏制新冠肺炎的传播。有一些老年人有资格获得政府的救助，但是他们缺少获得清洁食品包装所需的适当身份证明。这真的帮了很大的忙，因为有好多人没有这些证明。非常感谢你们所做的一切。

Volunteer Sergio Royuela lives far away from his parents. Worrying about them spark the idea to encourage people to help the elderly who live nearby. We have adopted grandparents and well continue see them. We can't just leave them without a visit only because the pandemic is raging. On the contrary, we will show our love and visit them until their last days. In addition to bringing food and medicine,some of the volunteers are determined to help the elderly navigate the government bureaucracy,so they can start drawing on any benefits owed to them.

志愿者塞尔吉奥·罗尤拉住在离父母很远的地方。正是对父母的担忧使她萌生了一个想法，鼓励人们去帮助住在附近的老人。我们认养了祖父母，而且会经常探望他们。我们不能只是因为疫情肆虐，就不去探望他们。相反，我们会表现我们的爱意，探望他们，陪伴他们度过人生最后的日子。除了带来食物和药品，一些志愿者们决定帮助老人们获得政府官僚机构的帮助，这样他们就可以获得自己应得的福利。美国之音记者Dora McClure华盛顿报道
