Breaking into small groups, 25 of our original caravan eventually were able to enter El Salvador. We then met up with our host community group in San Salvador.
Here, I am helping the co-coordintor of the group make a banner for a comming demostration. Days after my last conversation with her while on my 5 day bus trip back to U.S., Tita Guzman, a 24 year-old mother of two, was disappeared and never seen again. It was later discovered that she had been taken to the infamous Treasury Dept and tortured.
Because of paperwork hassles hauling aid through Mexico, Guatamala and into El Salvador, all the aid was shipped by boat. Aid arrived by truck from the port.

A job well done loading the storage building in extreme humid heat.
Members of our Carvan were able to get the brother, Manuel of one of the community members out of prison. I was able to visit him in prison with family members and to be outside at his release. He told me he would continue his political activities. A few years later and his family has never seen him again.
