French Foundation Friends of Heart (la Fundación Amistades del Corazón de Francia) has 14 used ambulances from the brands Citroen and Mercedes Benz donated to the Dominican Republic.
They are modern ambulances from the year 2000 with all modern conveniences.
The government has decided that nine of these ambulances will be made available for the province of Puerto Plata.
The problem is that the shipping from France to the Dominican Republic should be paid by its own inhabitants.
The editors of 'Sosúa Online' now want to start a donation action to persuade Sosúa residents to bring enough money together to transport the ambulance.
Sosúa would therefore have access to a modern ambulance to use in emergencies as traffic accidents and fires.
An ambulance for Sosúa?
Obviously, the municipal government then still has to provide further training and equipment of the ambulance and payment of ambulance personnel.
