So, as I mentioned previously, I will be leaving for El salvador this Saturday as part of a delegation that will be monitoring elections there. I will be one of 15 people from the Cleveland community, including 9 Case students, going through Cleveland's own Interreligious Task Force (IRTF) on Central America and the Centro Intercambio y Solidaridad (CIS). We will also be visiting various government institutions, learning about the tumultuous history of that country, and meeting with various people involved in the electoral process. I am extremely excited for this unique opportunity.
At this webpage, you will find collections of various photos and essays of my reaction to the political process. If you are new to my blog, you can also check out some of my older posts, my photography, and some of my digital artwork. I hope to get in at least one more post before I leave discussing a brief history of El Salvador.
I would like to thank everyone for their continued interest in my work. I have always had an interest in world politics and in the overarching connections between diverse societies. The country of El Salvador has seen so much happen in its tumultuous history, and I see this as more than just a trip abroad to see another country. For me, this will be a lesson in humanity, its weaknesses, and its strengths.
