A Busy Month

There is a lot happening in Guatemala this month. The convoy is expected to cross the border into Guatemala on Saturday and begin delivering the vehicles and supplies to various fire departments. It’s been a long haul for our drivers…..we couldn’t have done it without you – THANK YOU!

We have also had a group of Rotarians from the Fargo, North Dakota area working with Paul this week on the 2nd floor of the fire station in San Juan la Laguna. They are a group from the FMAM Rotary (Fargo-Moorhead Morning Rotary). It is part of Rotary District 5580, which includes North Dakota, about half of Minnesota, and parts of Canada, who provided the funds for materials to build the fire station. Construction of the facility will all be done by volunteer labor. Doug Murphy is the team leader for this trip. A second group from the same district, coming from Minnesota, will arrive in Guatemala in February. Thank you so much for your dedication to Guatemala and support of the BRAVE Foundation. The bomberos greatly appreciate this opportunity to improve fire response and medical treatment to this poor region.

A group of Central Pierce Fire & Rescue personnel and other great volunteers is heading to Guatemala next week. They will also be volunteering their time, energy, and expertise to work on the fire station and other important projects. Thank you to all for your dedication and support!

Stay tuned for more updates....it’s a busy time for the BRAVE Foundation!
