Izalco


When the Santa Ana Volcano erupted last year the town was moved to shelters. Many months later the people were given land by a church in Izalco. They made their homes out of aluminum and plastic bags, their security continues to be an issue. Here they have a common "pool" of water that is used for bathing and washing clothes. In this second picture Roberto, from "the band," is helping a child draw and paint.
