The following stories highlight the legacy of donations to the PazSalud El Salvador Mission:

"Maria del Carmen" had a stroke and is being cared for by her children. Her daughters live in two small adobe homes facing each other and separated by a dirt path. Now, with a wheelchair, they no longer have to carry her from one house to the other. Such a simple thing as a wheelchair has greatly lightened the changed life for the better for Maria and for her daughters.

Two sisters looking forward to high school.

These two young sisters now have the opportunity to attend "high school" and look forward to being able to seek a work opportunity outside of their rural home.

This rural women's and children's nutrition center, built with the assistance of a European physician's group, now depends upon donations to maintain food and other nutritional supplies to a region where malnutrition rates high on the scale of most common health problems.

Family now enjoys ability to take paralyzed daughter for stroller rides.

A donation provided this little girl, paralyzed from untreated meningitis, with a "running stroller". She is unable to use a wheelchair, but the stroller is perfect; it allows her family members to take her outside to enjoy the air outside of their rural house of lamina.

Donations provide us with the ability to provide eye exams and prescription glasses for schoolchildren. These happy four young girls are among over fifty young students from a rural school. Teachers selected children they recognized as having sight problems; of the more than fifty children who received an eye exam, ALL needed corrective lenses.

Happy recipients of new glasses.
