I've been following a lot of different blogs lately, which I have found helpful in keeping up to date with the news around Central America (because I find reading the newspaper in Spanish sometimes a little bit hard on my brain...) and it also helps remind me that I am not the only one that is struggling to make sense of all the poverty and violence I see here in El Salvador and Guatemala, 2 beautiful countries that I have come to love.
I thought I would share 2 helpful blogposts, so that people at home get a bit more of an understanding of the current social and political contexts of El Salvador and Guatemala.
The first post is written by Adrienne Wiebe, an MCCer working out of Mexico, who writes MCC's Latin America Advocacy Blog.

The second is a recap of some of the things that happened in El Salvador in 2011, by an American named Tim, who's lived in El Salvador quite a few years now, and who's blog I happened to stumble upon, and have found very useful to learn more about El Salvador.

Hope these are informative for you!
I am currently working on another blog post about the work I have been doing at ANADES in the Centro Hogar (pre-school) so check back in a few days for an update, as well as some pics of my adorable little kids!
