Our aid caravan to El Salvador had 50 people and 20 vehicles, many to be donated to communities. After initially granted entry, we were suddenly refused. I did a juice fast for 10 days. We were allowed to cross the border gate to eat meals in the border town
I was the first to do so, but we caused a cultural stir when we all joined the Salvadorian women at the river to wash our clothes. Why weren’t our women washing the men’s clothes? Such a scandal!
Short on Spanish, helpless me, I was almost always surrounded by children eager to guide and help me during my several month’s stay in El Salvador.
