Many of our friends and partners are frequently interested in current events in El Salvador. One such person who has an eye on the events in El Salvador is a Wisconsin resident named Tim, of Tim's El Salvador blog. On January 8 Tim posted his annual top-ten list of the previous year's news stories in El Salvador. So, for a quick run-down of the news in El Salvador in 2008, check out Tim's blog by clicking here.

Founder and Executive Director of ENLACE, Ron Bueno,recently had the privilege of interviewing one of ENLACE’s long-term supporters and friend, Bill Manwarren. Bill Manwarren is a lay, mission’s leader of his church in Santa Ana, CA. He created a partnership group comprised of church and community friends who have funded multiple initiatives throughout El Salvador for the last 12 years. It was a great opportunity to reflect together on the impact of the partnership group on ENLACE, their lives and the church. Below is a sampling of some of the questionsRon asked him and his answers.
After spending a year volunteering with ENLACE in El Salvador, Ali Hunt felt called to return to the U.S. and pursue a vocation in medicine. Recently Ali shared with us the process God took her through from trusting Him as she volunteered in El Salvador to following His call to study medicine. It is a beautiful story of how God can work in the life of a person who is available to His call. Read more of Ali's story.
But before we tell that story, we need to shout and hoop and holler. There is electricity in Abelines! Real power lines and switches and no need for car batteries or generators. Honest to goodness electricity in Abelines! Praise God and hot diggity!

Caleb & Rebekah help grab tires for a retaining wallSometimes visitors wonder why ENLACE does projects that they do. Why build a retaining wall when some people’s homes don’t have proper walls? Why build a latrine when a community still lacks water or electricity? Sometimes our decision making process may seem a bit odd to the teams that come to help us.
