With great pride in country and culture, an international delegation of Comandos traveled to Los Angeles to meet with other veteran Comandos in order to participate in the Salvadoran Independence parade along Hollywood Blvd. Participants from El Salvador included Efraín Solís, Rosa Arrué y Luis Colato. They met with Comandos rep William Ruiz in Los Angeles.

They were applauded by the Salvadoran community who recognize the great effort that young volunteers have provided for many years, in earthquakes, hurricane disasters, floods, traffic accidents and during the armed conflict where they were nominated as “Anonymous Heroes” by international organizations.

Mother and daughter Victims of Terrible Accident

Madre e hija perdieron la vida en un aparatoso accidente de tránsito en Carretera de Santa Ana a San Salvador.

CDS attend to a traffic accident registered on kilometer 39 of the Pan-American Highway, where mother and daughter passed away in a terrible traffic accident.

María Concepción Orellana de Carpio, 89, and her daughter Ana Virginia Carpio de Landaverde, 59, originally from Metapán, were traveling to a medical appointment in San Salvador and had contracted the Uber service, but upon reaching Ciudad Maple, the car tire, came off its axle and the driver lost control, crashing into a tree.

Both women flew out of the car.  The driver was seriously injured, so he was taken to an emergency care center.  Rescuers from Comandos de Salvamento determined that both women had lost their lives instantly after the traumas they received.

Police authorities cordoned off the area to start the investigation of the road mishap that left the Carpio family in mourning with our rescuers offering critical emotional support.

PROMISE MADE FOR COMANDOS DE SALVAMENTO

 

This past November, a group called the Successful Women “Mujeres Exitosas” of New York arrived to help some children in the Eastern part of the country and Comandos de Salvamento acted as the cultural bridge to help them. From that a relationship was born between lieutenant Juan Gutierrez and Captain Nelson Rivas of the New York World Fire Fighter Academy and Ramona Torres y Mayra Rivera,of Mujeres Exitosas.

This has resulted in the New York group to collaborate with the Mission of Comandos de Salvamento in possible future donations of an ambulance and rescue equipment for extrications.

CDS has offered support to El Salvador for over 60 years and looks forward to this new relationship.
