Strong and Happy!

Thank God I Came!
Eva was touched when she admitted that, at first, she did not want to come on this trip, but had only come to be with her daughter. Five days after being in El Salvador, she could not find the words to express the happiness she felt, as well as the awe of how much she had received from the people in Las Animas!

A Real Angel
This is the third time Angel Cervantez has visited El Salvador, and his love for this country is evident. He said, "We always think we come to give something to the people in these communities and our surprise is that we end up receiving something we never expected: unity, hapiness, genuine service, and love."
