Today El Salvador woke up to more heavy rains.

CIS communities

Comasagua continues to be hit very hard.  They have over 1,000 people now evacuated.  All of the community of San Antonio has been evacuated.

This afternoon we will be delivering 22 family packages (each contains: 4 pounds of beans, 4 pounds of corn flower, 2 pounds of rice, 2 pounds of sugar, and 1 pound of salt) to our grassroots organizer in San Rafael Cedros.  Thank you to all the people who have donated already, and for those of you who have not yet, please collaborate in any way you can!  See our pictures on Facebook of volunteers, community members, English Students, and staff working together to put together and deliver aid.

Nation Wide

According to the Prensa Grafica:  Across all of the 14 departments 35,883 people are evacuated.  Classes continue to be suspended across the country.  They are using 204 schools as shelters. The country’s road system is in horrible condition, making transportation and the delivery of aid very difficult.  The Ministry of Public Works says that they are going to need $16 million just to confront the emergency (not including reconstruction costs).
