El Salvador

I’m on the road again—in El Salvador this week to help get ready for the Millard & Linda Build that will be held during the week of November 17. I got in late so don’t have a lot to report on yet. Getting to El Salvador from Colorado Springs is not a difficult undertaking compared, say, to getting to Kinshasa or Kathmandu. It’s a three hour flight to Houston, a three hour wait there, then another three hours to San Salvador. So it gobbles up a day, but it’s a trip worth making.

It’s late now, and I’m weary, but I did want to get a teaser up about things to come. We now have about 100 volunteers who will be coming down from the States for the November event and many of them, understandably, have questions about what we’ll be doing, where we’ll be staying, how we’ll get around—the sort of questions that any traveler has when visiting someplace new. So my assignment this week is to get as many answers as I can. I’ll be posting things here and we’ll send some emails to the volunteers. We’re even going to experiment with some video. A caveat—you’re dealing here with someone who grew up with rotary phones and has limited tech-spertise, but I’ll do my very best.

If anyone has specific questions that you’d like to have answered please email them to me at dsnell@fullercenter.org and I’ll see what I can learn. If, after reading this week about the grand adventure, you’d like to join us in November but haven’t’ signed up, please do so—we’re still taking applications. You can learn all about it at http://www.fullercenter.org/. Or if you’d like to be a part of the project but can’t make the trip consider making a tax-deductible donation to support it.

Tomorrow we’ll be visiting the work site so I’ll have interesting news to report. Stay tuned. . .
