Joint Task Force-Bravo Joint Security Forces
9/20/2013 - SOTO CANO AIR BASE, Honduras -- Joint Task Force-Bravo's Joint Security Forces welcomed more than 30 children from a local orphanage to participate in a day of fun and games at Soto Cano Air Base, Honduras, Sept. 12, 2013.
Members of JTFB-JSF set up stations consisting of basketball, dodge ball, kickball, and soccer for the children of the CasAyuda orphanage. The children rotated through each station to ensure that everyone had a chance to participate in each activity.
"The event and planning took a lot of hard work and dedication, but the rewards of making a difference in the lives of children in an area where they often struggle to survive were worth every bit of work I put into the event," said U.S. Army Cpl. Lance Golay, who served as the overall coordinator for the event.
Following a morning of activities, the children were served pizza and juice for lunch. The children then participated in the day's grand finale, hitting two piñatas, one for the boys and one for the girls.
"These types of events are a core part of serving as a member of Joint Task Force-Bravo," said Golay. ""I believe in the JSF mission here and I am grateful for the outstanding support I received from the other MSC's on base. I could not have done it without their help."
The day ended with the children enjoying dancing to music along with members of JTFB. The children finally departed the base, smiling and waving goodbye to their new friends from JTFB.
