This was a Project created by Joseph Torres. It consisted of providing workforce protection and personal safety equipments, such as fire fighting clothing, to the firefighters in Banda Aceh, Indonesia.
After having stayed in this city several months in the aftermath of the tsunami in 2004, Joseph promised those local firefighters to bring them suitable clothing to work, given the fact that they only had three plastic intervention jackets and rubber fire fighting boots.
He went throughout every Fire Station in Galicia and he got 1,275kg of workforce clothing donated by different Fire Stations and Firefighters coming from the 4 Galician provinces. Therefore, Joseph sent the safety material collected to his counterparts in Aceh despite the multiple bureaucratic and logistic problems he had to face.
In the end, a project and a person responsible of it were the only ones that made the completion of the project possible.
