In the heart of Cúcuta, Colombia, two local heroes, Beatríz Oquendo and Esteban Barrera, are making waves in the fight against COVID-19. 💪 Located along the border with Venezuela, Cúcuta faces unique challenges in preventing the virus's spread. With many medics lacking proper protective gear, Oquendo and Barrera took inspiration from the H1N1 outbreak to innovate a new version of protective suits.
Partnering with nearby workshops, their team is tirelessly producing these essential garments, ensuring they are delivered to medics, police, and others who need them most. Every time they see people working safely in the suits they've created, Oquendo and Barrera feel a deep sense of relief and pride. Their greatest wish? The safety and well-being of everyone in Cúcuta. 🌍❤️✨
