Fire truck donation for Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca

Thanks to the hard work and persistence of Granite Bay, CA resident and businessman Carlos Solis, the town of Puerto Escondido is the proud owner of a fire engine.
Mr. Solis has taken a personal interest in improving the lives of this small community. Over the past ten years, he has made many donations to the people there.
On one of his past visits, Carlos found out that Puerto Escondido did not have a fire truck. This had serious repercussions once when two hurricanes pounded the area and fires broke out all over town. After hearing this, Mr. Solis started on a mission to get Puerto Escondido the fire engine they greatly needed.
When the Fire Department in Penryn, CA purchased a new fire engine, they donated their old one to Mr. Solis so he could bring it down to the people of Puerto Escondido.
Bill Hay International helped Mr. Solis transport the fire engine. As of this writing, the new Puerto Escondido fire truck is at the Laredo, TX border waiting to cross customs. It has become an unfortunate victim of bureaucratic delays due to additional import requirements that seem to change on a daily basis. Bill Hay International and Mr. Carlos Solis haven't given up hope - we realize that all the headaches will be worth it once this donation is in the hands of the people of this community.
Mr. Solis and others involved have established a bank account to receive monetary donations to help out with this and other projects.
