Four Corners group will help in El Salvador

A group of 14 from the Four Corners is headed to El Salvador to help rehabilitate a community soccer field, build a fence around a church and spend time with Salvadorian students.

The group includes six teenagers and eight adult chaperones from Durango, Albuquerque and Colorado Springs.

They will be leaving July 28 and returning Aug. 4.

To complete fundraising for the projects, the group must raise $15,000. They have raised a little more than $11,000 so far, said Lynne Bruzzese, one of the adults participating in the service trip.

In addition to fundraising, the group is asking community members to donate new and used soccer equipment such as jerseys, shoes, socks and soccer balls, she said.

Community members can drop off soccer equipment at Maria’s Bookshop, 960 Main Ave. Online donations can be made at www.crowdrise.com/elsalvadorsoccerfield/fundraiser.
