Juramentacion de Base en Sensuntepeque Cabañas

The CDS Family Grows.

On a small porch of a machine shop, situated at the entrance of Sensutepeque, a new Comandos section base was sworn in on Sunday June 28th 2009.  This addition of volunteers makes a total of 27 base sections in the department of Cabañas in Northern El Salvador. 25 volunteers form the growing family of Comandos for the benefit of the pueblo.

The President of the governing board, Wilmer Alexander Lobo, and the exececutive director, Roberto Cruz were in chage of swearing on the delegates and EMT’s.   In charge of the delegates are José Iván Ernesto Galdamez and Adrián Natividad Benítez.  They wanted to volunteer for CDS because in there town there was no one could go to if one needed help.  Now Sensutepeque has an institution that will attend to their first aid and emergency situations.

The board of the main base of CDS, were satisfied and will being supporting the new volunteer base section with training and resources. For the city of “Sensute”, this is good news since there now will be an institution supporting the Salvadorans there.  The Central Base of Comandos de Salvamento wishes luck to this new addition to the gran family of Comandos.
