We have clear instructions from the president to be involved in social problems, to give, to resolve as if it were a mercy without looking at colors; a person who permanently works in favor of those most in need, and who has invested significant resources in improving the quality of life of the most vulnerable Dominicans. We are here with all our heart, with all our interest and spirit, because it fills us with satisfaction to be here,” said Modesto Guzmán.
The provincial governor, Migdaly de los Santos, was present at the event and thanked President Luis Abinader, the municipal mayor’s office, the Dominican Republic Army, all the staff of the General Directorate of Community Development, and each of the institutions involved for taking the initiative to bring immediate solutions to that locality.
