one more thought...

Volcan Chichontepeque

(we live in its shadow)

hello again,

just had one more thought i wanted to add to the last blog. we also want you to use your gifts, talents, abilities and passions while you are down here. we are experts in very little, but with all of us together we are experts in a lot of things. from farming to building and healthcare to daycare you are experienced in many things that can help down here in so many ways. so start thinking of the things you would like to bless the people of el salvador with and let us know your thoughts so we can start planning together! we are excited as we think of the good we can do together...

quick facts about el salvador:

population - 6,822,378 (plus 12 white people in san vicente)

31% of that number lives on less than $1 per day.

in other words 2,114,937 people live on less than $1 per day. imagine that! it would take a full work week to buy a vente low fat vanilla latte... puts things in perspective to think of this way, for me anyway.
