This is the first post in my blog about my upcoming adventure to El Salvador.
I just got off the phone with Alicia de Garcia, who is one of the founding members of the Comadres, the Committee of the Mothers of the Disappeared and Assassinated of El Salvador. I have been calling her since February 2008, talking about details regarding my trip to El Salvador and the work I will do with them. At this point, we have arranged that I will teach English for them for 2-3 weeks. Today I told her that if there is any other work I can do for them while I am there, I would be happy to do that also. I will begin my trip by studying Spanish at "El CIS," the "Centro de Intercambio y Solidaridad," for one week, before starting work with the Comadres. I am very excited about this trip. It is a trip that I have wanted to do ever since I visited the Comadres in 1995, as a student at Friends World Program.
