Thanks to President Danilo Medina thousands of children who live in hamlets and villages around Cabarete, Sosúa and Montellano received toys for Epiphany.
Most of these children live in places where they have suffered a lot of the flooding in recent months.
Commander Colonel Juan Tejada Darío Quintana of the air base of Puerto Plata had taken the task upon himself to bring the toys to these victimized children on Sunday morning January 8.
Priests and school teachers of the respective hamlets and villages assisted him because they knew which children were eligible for a gift.
Caused by the flooding of the rivers some hamlets were hardly accessible.
Toys for the children
But the extremely deplorable state of some roads didn't prevent the colonel to make the kids happy with a nice gift.
