Obdulio Leiva is 27 years old and lives in Santa Marta, El Salvador in the colonia “Las Vegas”. He is currently the president of the youth artisan cooperative “Sueños de Madera” (Wooden Dreams).
The adventure continues in El Salvador. I just returned to Santa Marta after spending 5 weeks at DGH´s other site in El Salvador: Estancia, Morazán. This post is dedicated to updating everyone on what´s going on in this more isolated, rural site.
Everyone here in Santa Marta is in recovery mode after the huge celebration of “Regreso a Casa”- “Return Home” on October 10th. Three nights in a row of dancing, pupusa-eating, and ferris-wheel riding took its toll on me too, so I spent most of yesterday in the hammock.
Greetings from El Salvador! This is Anita Lyons, 4th year med student and volunteer with DGH reporting from the community of Santa Marta in Cabanas. I’ll be living here for the next 7 months, and hope to maintain this field blog to keep all friends of DGH up-to-date on the many initiatives happening in Santa Marta.
