April 28, at 10 am, 3845 North Swan Street – “The El Salvador Project”
Marion and Jamie Newton will discuss The El Salvador Project and what it means to poor rural families.
Since 1990, under the care of the Palo Alto Friends Meeting (Quakers) in California, The El Salvador Projects has assisted students from poor rural families to complete programs of higher education in teaching, medicine, nursing, physical therapy, law, business administration, agricultural engineering, and other disciplines. Graduates lift their families from poverty, as they enhance the quality of life in their communities and inspire others to pursue their dreams. Meaningful careers with adequate income give these young Salvadorans alternatives to migration toward the United States driven by desperation.
