Upon arriving at this branch we discovered a group of volunteers from Michigan State University in the USA were here for Spring Break. We joined in with what they had planned to do which was tidying up the yard where the children play and painting the outside of the building. It was neat to be helping out with other volunteers and being apart of something bigger than just Roland and I. Captains Salvador Chacón and Josefina Franco have a big job on their hands caring for 30 children on a full time basis. We were sorry to only be there for only one day!

Volunteer work with the Salvation Army

Part of what we wish to accomplish over the next year is not only the cycling, but also giving back to the communities which we will pass through.

When we hit a town that has Salvation Army services, we offer our hands-on help for a day or two in the hope of encouraging the regular volunteers and also providing some relief in the volume of work that is demanded of them.

We chose the Salvation Army because they are well respected, give practical help to those that are in need and they are also situated throughout Pan-America.

We feel very priviledged to be associated with this hardworking organisation. We hope that the work we do (albeit small) will be of some worth and also raise awareness of all the good work the Salvation Army does for others.
