-------------- Message in English for visitors/volunteers planning to travel to El Salvador or the rest of Central America in the near future...
I, the writer of this tome, am a long term resident of El Salvador in Central America. Prior to 1994 I resided in Guatemala and labored as guide/interpreter serving visitors from many different cultures and lands to discover teh undiscovered..Centra- l America.
If any of you are soon planning to travel to El Salvador or Central America and have skills to share with and able to pass on to less advantaged folks living marginalized in rural areas of the country, or even just time to lend a helping hand, send us a message at least a few weeks before your intended arrival.

I am an active activist as is possible, part time due to my age, but not the type of person who wishes to sit behind a computer screen all day and write on "fun walls" on facebook or chat with online strangers in that strange to me IM "chat language" LOL? Get my drift..? When I returned to reside in the region in the 1980s there was no Internet, cell phones, nor even public faxes until 1989, so I am pretty much still into the oral tradition, face to face, shaking hands and looking people in the eyes.
Visit El Salvador, the rest of Central America and South America if you have the budget, time and inclination, meet the people, see the sights, listen to the sounds, inhale the smells and enjoy the enchantment of the coastlines and countryside, from steaming jungles and rain forests to the majestic snow capped Andes....

At any rate I am a long term Ex Pat Resident of the Central American region and plan to make this an "information bloq" not a travel bloq, I've been there and seen that and done that and although I have some boring and tedious travel information to share with you along with the usual safety tips, the real meat of this bloq, along the way, down the line, shall be the additions of those serious travelers and volunteers I will encounter in the coming months..face to face..as I and several associates are assisting on an exciting eco tourism and native crafts project, seeing an entire village whose population was decimated in the civil conflict that raged on in El Salvador 1979-1992 rise now like a Phoenix to soon welcome both National and Central american visitors and those from every corner of the globe....It is not about "Me" or "I" at all..its about "You".
Saludos...looking forward to meeting you.
Le Esperamos.
