Jalapa, 2016. – St. Catharines’ own Luis Pimentel knew exactly what to do when he saw four crates full of used firefighters’ equipment. He contacted Scott Maxwell, chairman of Wells of Hope, who coordinated its pick up, which was just in time for the next relief aid container heading to Jalapa in Guatemala.
Ted van der Zalm, founder of Wells of Hope, was at camp when the container arrived carrying the firefighters’ equipment and made sure to bring the good news to the Volunteer Firefighters of Jalapa, where the donation was happily received – like Christmas in July!
