--Emergency Disaster Relief--
The extent of damage in El Salvador has not reached the levels of devastation that Nicaragua and Honduras are enduring; nevertheless, hurricane Mitch has killed hundreds of Salvadorans, and has left tens of thousands more homeless.
Some of the hardest hit were communities repopulated after the war, many built up from barren land into thriving villages with cooperative farms, schools and health clinics. Tragically, several of these communities, located in low lying parts of the country, have literally been washed off the map. Most people evacuated in time, but soon they will return to find everything they have worked so hard for gone.
US-El Salvador Sister Cities network is accepting contributions for emergency funds to provide food, medical supplies,etc. to flooded communities.
Individuals who can/would like to make a tax deductible contribution to this emergency relief effort please send their checks (made out to US-El Salvador Sister Cities and marked Hurricane Relief) to:
