I have been spending a lot of time in Izalco lately, as I carry out the research for my dissertation. Part of my work involves spending time with the wonderful people of Izalco, learning about their daily lives, their preoccupations, their hopes for themselves and their families. I have been particularly touched by the willingness of people to share their lives with me and feel indebted to continue to learn about them, to provide a channel for their voices to be heard. I want to take this opportunity to thank the people of the town who have welcomed me and spoken to me so openly and want to assure them that I share their dream and want to see their families, their town and their country flourish.
Gracias y muchas, muchas bendiciones al pueblo de Izalco.
