I am interested in speaking about my work in El Salvador. If your group, organization or school would like me to present please contact me.

War ended in El Salvador in 1992 but the wounds of war are still fresh today. The twelve year civil war resulted in 75,000 deaths, destruction of the country and a living fear that affects all who endured the violence. Long after the bombs stopped echoing there is destruction of spirit that is caused by the fear and pain that war created in the Salvadoran people. El Museo de la Palabra y la Imagen understands how it can help mend the evils of war with an extensive collection of historic photographs from the conflict. Come hear how el Museo uses photographs to create community forums where remembrance, healing and reconciliation are encouraged. More importantly, come learn how you can help Salvadorans heal for less than the cost of lunch.

Be sure to read the article in the Minnesota Women's Press about healing and historic photographs in El Salvador.
