The Ignacio Martín-Baró Cooperative’s Project for Psychosocial Resources for the Communities of Jayaque reports the successful completion of a needs assessment despite two weeks of challenging storms that destroyed half of the homes in two of their communities and the death of longtime pastor and community supporter, Father Dean Brackley, SJ. Needs identified reflected the effects of the storms as well as more structural poverty and violence. Thus staff and volunteers have juggled emergency services with longer term program development. The Cooperative continues to engage the legacy of Salvadoran civil war as well as the ongoing challenges of entrenched poverty and violence. The Fund looks forward to continuing to learn from this partnership as the Cooperative initiates new programs to respond to the needs of the young and the elderly.
