Kevin sends us some images of his solidarity works done out on the fields where no one has been attended.
He drives through muddy tracks to get to those houses stranded without means to get provisions.

Text from the Gibraltar Chronicle.
Gibraltar and Spain were not the only countries affected by recent storms. Morocco too has endured devastation with damage to homes, buildings, streets and public services.
One person on the ground to provide assistance, thanks to donations from people in Gibraltar, is Kevin Parody, better known as Salsa.
Mr Parody, a member of MarocAtlas 4x4, travelled to Morocco last week in his car laden with goods to bring some aid to those in need who had been evacuated in the region from from Ksar el Kebir, on the Strait of Gibraltar, to Asilah on Morocco’s Atlantic coastline.
It was not his first time helping those in need in Morocco after a natural disaster, having also travelled to Marrakech after the earthquake there in 2023.
Speaking by phone to the Chronicle on Monday morning, Mr Parody was in a shop buying essentials for those in need.
“In Morocco there is everything they need, they just need the money to buy it,” he said.
“So we buy it and then distribute it.”
"We have had a lot of money from people in Gibraltar and this morning I am out buying socks, pants and bodywarmers.”
Mr Parody is helping via an association he set up called Asilah Salsa Association.
The association was just months in the making and started when he was recovering in hospital from ill health. It was only approved officials by authorities in Morrocco a few weeks ago.
“It is an act of God that that the pieces came together at this time,” he said.
“Last year they [people in Morocco] were praying for my life.”
“Now I can help them.”
He has been working closely with local authorities and others especially Sara Chetbi, who has been connecting him with people in need and making sure every donation goes to the right families.
He is not only ensuring that help goes to those who desperately need it but also that they get what they precisely what they require, especially items like nappies, blankets and clothing, as well as food and water.
Over the past few days, he has delivered bags of groceries to houses on the outskirts of Aislah too. These bags contain items such as flour, oil and canned goods.
He has helped and continues to help dozens of families and also camps where there are 300 people staying.
“It all goes to those who are 100% in need,” he said.
He is working with around eight people to collect the aid and distribute it.
“It is hard work but it is very gratifying,” he said.
“Although I did not sleep for two days, which is not good with my condition, but last night I managed to get some sleep.”
Mr Parody is not just buying essentials but is also assisting with the creation and provision of “tokens” which will allow those who require help to go directly to the shop and buy exactly what they need.
His focus is not just on the present day but also the future, with Ramadan starting on Wednesday, February 18.
“They will need some provisions for four weeks,” he said.
“I would like to help ten, 20, 30 families. It all depends on how many donations we receive.”
“I want them to have a decent Ramadan.
“Let’s see how many families we can help out.”
