June Offerings
El Salvador is the smallest country in Central America. Located between Guatemala and Honduras, it's roughly the size of Massachusetts, yet offers a desirable, tropical climate in a lush, mountain-covered landscape. But life in this tiny nation is strife with conflict, even in this post-war era. El Salvador is widely regarded as the deadliest place on earth due to the rival gangs MS-13 and La 18 who control or influence every facet of life. This month is dedicated to the stories of the Salvadoran people and their complicated history.
