Donate 20,100 face masks and 6,700 hand sanitizers to the Ministry of Health of Chile
The Ministry of Health of Chile has strengthened preventative measures against COVID-19 because the likelihood of the spread of COVID-19 has increased as more people contact one another around the end of the year and the beginning of the New Year. In the whole region of Santiago, the capital city of the country, level 2 quarantine was declared on December 10. It is impossible to move around among regions, movie theatres and gyms are banned, and at restaurants people can have food only outside on the terrace.
The first case of COVID-19 broke out on March 3. Since then, the coronavirus has been spiraling out of control. With increasing numbers of people falling victim to COVID-19, the Ministry of Health of Chile is rushing to control the spread of the virus around the end of the year and the beginning of the New Year.
Having sensed the urgent situation, the members of the Intl. WeLoveU Foundation (hereinafter, “WeLoveU”) rolled up their sleeves to prevent the spread of COVID-19. They decided to donate 20,100 face masks and 6,700 hand sanitizers (3.38 ounce each) to the Ministry of Health of Chile.
Carrying out the MOU signed with the Ministry of Health of Chile
The WeLoveU signed an MOU with the Ministry of Health of Chile on May 23, 2019 and made a promise to provide humanitarian aid and take measures for disaster prevention, response, and reconstruction. And on July 29 of the year, 218 members from the WeLoveU branch in Santiago, Chile, donated blood to four hospital in order to help out people in danger from the lack of blood supply.
As the COVID-19 pandemic worsened in Chile, the WeLoveU once again decided to look around their neighbors in difficulties, and delivered face masks and hand sanitizers to the Ministry of Health of Chile on December 10. On the boxes of goods were attached a sticker message, “Let’s take courage and overcome the COVID-19 pandemic,” which represented the mind of the members who really wanted to work together to get over the crisis.

Paula Labra Besserer, the Secretary General of the Ministry of Health of Chile, expressed gratitude to the WeLoveU members for their generous support, saying, “I will deliver these protective equipment against COVID-19 to people vulnerable to the pandemic, including nursing home patients and residents living in shanty towns, who cannot afford to purchase new face masks.” Furthermore, he presented a certificate of appreciation to Honorary Chairwoman Zahng Gil-jah who dedicates herself to preventing the spread of COVID-19 around the world and said, “I could feel the love and affection from the chairwoman of WeLoveU, though she is in a faraway place [Korea].”
