More than forty young volunteers who are part of Comandos de Salvamento of El Salvador have enrolled in the new Vertical Rescue course to receive the best training, which will be placed at the service of the Salvadoran people.

The applicants will undergo theoretical and practical classes with modern safety equipment in order to carry out exercises in the field of vertical rescue, as part of the equipment acquired thanks to funds from Norwegian Popular Aid, APN, the organization financing this training.

For six weeks, the volunteers will be committed to attending classes to acquire knowledge at the Comandos de Salvamento of El Salvador School, “Yolanda Elizabeth Ramírez,” taught by highly qualified and certified personnel.

Norwegian Popular Aid, APN, an organization that for several years has been financing each project involving the training of young rescuers, most of them volunteers who provide service during the various emergencies affecting the country.

The Board of Directors and Executive Directorate of Comandos de Salvamento of El Salvador provide all the logistical support so that the young people can be comfortable during their stay throughout the Vertical Rescue course, providing them with lodging and meals since they come from the institution’s 30 branches.

Women and young people hope to become part of the Vertical Rescue Unit.
