Lorena Canan, 45 years old and with 23 years of service, has been elected as the first president in the history of the Volunteer Firefighters of Paraguay (CBVP) in its 47 years of existence. Canan takes on the role with the responsibility of leading this important entity, which admitted its first female members in 1993.
"It is an honor and a challenge to assume this presidency in such an important institution for our country. My goal is to continue strengthening the work of volunteer firefighters and promote the active participation of women in this field," said Canan after her appointment.
Canan has demonstrated exceptional commitment and dedication during her 23 years of service in the institution, earning the respect and recognition of her colleagues. Her election as president marks a significant milestone in the history of volunteer firefighters in Paraguay, paving the way for greater gender inclusion in a profession traditionally dominated by men.
Canan's appointment has been met with applause and expressions of support both within and outside the institution. It is expected that her management at the CBVP will contribute to the development and modernization of emergency services in the country, as well as promote equal opportunities in one of the most respected institutions in Paraguay.
