After giving up on the idea of raising 350,000 pesos to purchase a new ambulance, the board of the Red Cross was able to purchase a second hand vehicle for 50,000 pesos which went into operation last week. They said the engine is in good condition and they did general maintenance and changed the 'balatas' . The president of the board said they urgently needed to purchase another ambulance because their unit was constantly needing repairs. -
