Approximately 50 physical-education teachers of the country took part in a seminar on athletics given by the North American coach Mr. Joseph Yancey, who came to the country under the Cultural Exchange Program of the U.S. Department of State. This child is one of the 140,000 who are receiving good nutrition under the Food for Peace programme, sponsored by the Government of the United States in collaboration with Cáritas of El Salvador. The Government of El Salvador also collaborates through a School Lunch programme, with the aim of providing a better nutritional diet to needy schoolchildren. ILOPANGO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT The Government of El Salvador, by obtaining two loans and with the collaboration and help of the Alliance for Progress, has modernised the Ilopango airport, which is now one of the best airports in Central America, having an admirable runway for jet aircraft.
