Our organization participates in the Surplus Property Donation Program of the County of Los Angeles. 
Our SimplyHelp distribution team in La Libertad, El Salvador, consisted of eight: Tina Bow, Ling Yu, Chin-Chin and Paul Chan, Richard and Nathaniel Yu, Mario and Mark Rivera. We arrived on Oct 29th in El Salvador to distribute the Senior Center container which we loaded on Oct. 3rd. The contents were clothing, bedding, diapers, walkers, kitchen appliances, kitchenware, blankets, canes, folding tables and chairs, kitchen cookware, washing machines, towels, socks, portable toilets, waterproof sheets, shoes, slippers, hydrothermal cushions, caps, cleaning supplies and tools. The total shipment was valued at $90,440.00
We also have vocational schools in cooperation with the ex-First Lady of El Salvador, Dona Ely de Calderon, in San Salvador and La Libertad for cooking, sewing, computer training, and maid services courses. We met with all the students in their classrooms. The school services poor young people tuition-free to learn a skill in three months, after which they can generally support themselves or assist their families with expenses. We also distributed a one-month’s supply of food to 250 poor families, as certified by the Mayor, Miguel Jimenez.
Additionally, we distributed to our vocational school in San Salvador, which was started eight years ago. This school graduates 1000 students yearly, and the feedback from student testimonials is very positive.
