Site coordinator German Pech, who is a Belle Haven resident, said Sunday that he lives around the block from the testing site and is a youth church leader at Cummings Park Church. His niece, Sara Bautista, was also volunteering, and helped to provide bilingual instructions on how to administer the tests.
Another volunteer from the neighborhood, Brigith Babb, operated station guiding people through the testing process. It s a good experience for me . helping in the community, she said.
