The radio program will conclude with information regarding the upcoming "Jornada Extraordinaria" at the Consulate General of El Salvador.

Salvadorans will have the opportunity to apply for a passport, personal identification card, or power of attorney. Consul Pedro Rodríguez will share further details. 

The Montgomery County Council and Radio America have entered a partnership that provides the Latino community with key information on issues and programs. The partnership also provides a forum for residents to express their views and ask questions. The partnership includes the weekly one-hour show each Friday on the Washington metropolitan area’s most popular Spanish language station. 

Each week, the show features host Marcela Rodriguez, Council program manager and public information officer, and guests talking about important issues before the Council and provides information about programs offered by the County to help residents.
