Thank you.

I was, in fact, going to add that we had also given $50 million to the Pan American Health Organization, which has been setting up programs in Haiti, especially to do outreach to people who are reluctant to get vaccinated, which is a big problem.

At the beginning of the pandemic, we also revised our existing program by adding $13 million to directly address the personal protective equipment needs of our project beneficiaries.
