Every Sunday, the Ecological House in Nahuilzalco hosts all the area indigenous grandmothers for lunch. Women come from miles around, attend church, and then gather at the house. Beyond the food, there is respect and community to be found. This work is part of Marta's larger efforts to bring the needs of the growing elderly population to the political foreground. She networks with other activists around the country and travels to San Salvador to work on national policy issues regarding the elderly.

ReplyDeleteJust a bit of info.. I finally had to leave el salvador, for living clandestine was putting in danger many of the volunteers on the ecumenical ministry for humanitarian aid.. i went to countries in cnetral america, mexico and the US,and though I appreciated teh offers of many countries in Europe for assylum, I never went to live there... through many of the problems it was clear to me, that one must live for the revolution, and not die for it. best..marta
