El Salvador Beckons!

Hello! I'm dusting off this aptly named Blog to countdown my days before heading to El Salvador and hopefully participating in the "Stop Impunity! Intensive Human Rights Summer Program 2011." I hope to post at least daily and give you some information on the status of my trip and information on El Salvador.

I want to thank EVERYONE who has donated to my fundraising efforts to date. You have been an incredible inspiration to me and hold an even greater and more special place in my heart because you recognized how much this means to me. Last night I used a significant portion of those funds to purchase my ticket, so IT'S OFFICIAL: I AM GOING TO EL SALVADOR!

However, I still need $2000 in tuition to attend the program and the deadline is May 25. Please consider donating to this trip. I know that you will realize over the course of the month how much El Salvador and the history of El Salvador means to me. This tiny country is the fuel for the great fire that burns within me to fight for social justice daily.

You can send donations by PayPal to Victor.Monterrosa.Jr@Gmail.com OR send me an email to ask for other ways to donate.

Peace and Love. VM.
