"Employee Appreciation"
Annual Family Party 2017

Was held on Sunday, 14 May, at Bala Beach Resort in Maria Chiquita, outside of Colón, Panama. A very large crowd of 416 showed up and we had the whole beach to ourselves. While many officers couldn't come because of being on-entering shift, most sent their families. There were 3 separate meals during the day and the kids lad a great time in the water. There was basketball, soccer, and volleyball. The "grab bag" winners were especialy happy. One of the photos is of a lady winning the music system. She is one of three single mothers we have hired in succession to be the "cleaning lady" (from the houses we rebuilt), and then applied for and passed the Security Officer course and now each is a "self-sufficient" head of household supporting their family.
