Victims of Hurricane Ida: Presente!

A year ago today, Hurricane Ida hit El Salvador and killed over 200 people while destroying thousands of homes due to poor housing construction and environmental degradation.  Today, a beautiful day in El Salvador, we remember those who died and those whose lives were affected for ever.  To quote my friend Beth, "I believe that people shouldn't die when it rains."  Read about her organization, CEIBA, which was founded after last years disaster.
