During our 3 days so far in El Salvador, we´ve seen things that could easily cause one to get discouraged about the progress toward justice and a better life for the poor majority in the country, such as the chronic poverty, unemployment, severe underemployment, impunity regarding the murders in Cabanas, etc. But we must keep faith and hope alive in the face of this-- after all our Salvadoran brothers and sisters do so!
There ARE signs of faith and hope: the spirit of the youth, as witnessed in the youth theater presentation and radio station in Cabanas, the new president Mauricio Funes (who made an unplanned appearance at the Romero commemoration on Saturday), the undying spirit of persevering that we witness daily with their great appreciation of our solidarity. Adelante!
