The Honorary Consul of El Salvador, Ms Sonia Meijer, approached the sponsors who financed the project; ”As Honorary Consul of El Salvador I am satisfied and proud of all my work accomplished which ended in a significant day and as how we say. Mission accomplished, thanks to all my sponsors”, she declared.
