February 26th - Lights & Sirens International "Vacation With a Purpose" continued its mission in helping to bridge the gap between first responders and the minority community. We recognize the daily sacrifice the men and women of the Dominican Republic National Police PN make. We visited three neighborhoods where these families live and distributed 150 toys and games to show our appreciation for their dutiful service. We would like to extend a special thanks to Mayor Guzman of the PN for providing a motorcade escort for us to navigate through the capital traffic and welcoming us into his family residences to celebrate the beginning of a new relationship.

March 2nd - Lights and Sirens International "Vacation With a Purpose" visited Tato Martinez Baseball Academy located in Puerto Plata on the north coast of the Dominican Republic, where we distributed 115 toys and games. Tato Martinez has spent the last 51 years teaching baseball to the youth in the community and has produced 5 major league players. He took what was once a wetland, and created a training field to help build discipline, character, and determination in his players. We continue to be grateful for our family, volunteers, donors, and supporters that provide the financial support and gifts-in-kind to help us give back to those less fortunate during this pandemic. Bridging the gap between first responders and the minority community is our goal and we pray that our cultural exposure exchanges make a difference.
