On Saturday, January 18, São Brás Bombeiros welcomed to their fire station members of the Rotary Club Estoi Palace International, representatives of the Angels Theatre Group and members of the public and local dignitaries to witness the handover of the keys to a new ambulance which will make an enormous difference to the people they serve in the local region.
This successful project represents a triumph for the entire community. Many groups and individuals, including The Angels Theatre Group, who kick-started the fundraising by donating €2600 to the cause, have made significant contributions to the Bombeiros’ ambulance fund since November 2012.
Due to the involvement of the Rotary Foundation, only €4000 from this fund was used to purchase the ambulance, and the Bombeiros now have a significant bank balance to apply to other projects.
