Every year a former PeaceHealth employee and her sisters hand-make and donate quilts to PazSalud to
distribute to needy families and individuals from our mission communities. This year I worked with Maira - our
local CIS coordinator who helped us with our General Medical Mission – to identify some people
in Tamanique who
greatly needed and appreciated this small gesture of friendship and
solidarity with the people of El Salvador. It was a joy to see so many
happy, smiling faces at receiving something they will treasure for years
to come.
We made two main stops in Tamanique. Below are scenes from the first delivery:
We then stopped in another area further away to distribute more blankets:
