Children with Hope in Shelters
On Sunday October 16th 2011, Comandos de Salvamento joined forces with Radio Corporación FM employees to hand out donated clothing, food and water at emergency shelter Centro Escolar Profesora Evangelina Alvarez in the neighborhood San Juan de Dios in the town of Olocuilta . Since radio continues to be the most efficient means of communicating rapid grassroots mobilization in El Salvador, Radio FM’s listening audience donated much needed supplies for displaced families caused by the recent tropical rain storm that has drenched El Salvador over the last few weeks.
