Fiesta del Niño

Over three hundred children participated in a Christmas party at the Central Base in San Salvador on December 27th. The children and families were from neighborhoods located around our main base and children of CDS workers. At the party were some of our comandos volunteers dressing up as clowns and offering entertainment, piñatas, dancing and the handing out of toys and presents. Comando leaders want to take this time to offer thanks to the volunteer EMS workers of 2009.

May all of you have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
