Several staff in El Salvador, including the country director, told us that it was God’s divine timing that we should be in El Salvador 2 days after this hurricane.

Where are my army boots, where are my fatigues?  Oh that’s right, I don’t own these things.  All I brought was a computer, a camera and a few clothes. What a nerd.  How am I going to help in this state of emergency in El Salvador?  Needless to say, I felt humbled by such powerful and gracious words.

The country director shared passionately with us about this hurricane, with powerpoint and all.  His serious tone made me feel like I was at the hospital with a friend in crisis.  He is looking for help for kids and their families and we showed up and he said it was “divine”. Divine? Well, I do believe our bloggers will do their best to tell the stories and to paint the picture, but the divine only comes if our friends from home show up too.
