Pictures from last week's workshop

The first picture includes Ivette to my right, who is a forensic psychologist and shared a cabaña with me; behind her is Mitzy, who works for the Casa de la Mujer in Santa Tecla, a woman's organization that works closely with the mayor of Santa Tecla to promote women's rights; Marisol, a Chilean woman who's lived in Guatemala for 15 years and fought in the Guatemalan civil war; and Pilar, a lawyer from Colombia. Pilar and I spent a lot of time together last week visiting women's organizations in Santa Tecla and a youth center in Popotlán (the center is a space for youth who are at risk of becoming involved in gang activity in one of the marginal neighborhoods of San Salvador. One of the women at the workshop, Ceci, is a Catholic sister who works at the youth center and lives in the neighborhood).

The second picture shows the facilitators for the workshop. First is Walberto, who's my supervisor here at CBC. Then Pansho, a social worker from Chile who I spent a lot of time with during my first week here. Following Pansho is Rutilio, one of the facilitators for the Masculinities program. Then Larry, the director of CBC- I'll write more about him later, but he's awesome; finally Wilfredo, a professor of community psychology.

The third picture is a group shot of everyone...
