The Fund once again renewed its support of Centro Bartolomé de las Casas, which works with local communities on economic, social, psychosocial and spiritual development. The Center reports that they have achieved their primary objective for 2005, which was to accompany the communities of Arcatao and Nueva Trinidad in exhumation processes. They have also begun legal negotiations and psychosocial accompaniment for the exhumation of remains in the riverbed of Río Sumpul, Chalatenango. The group’s staff and volunteers consolidated local initiatives toward the recovery of historical memory in the north-west of Chalatenango, incorporating survivors as protagonists in local processes. They have been invited to Chile and Brazil to share their experiences at international assemblies on memory and mental health. With this year’s grant, the Center hopes to continue and consolidate their work with a local group of survivors in the northeast zone and to provide psychosocial support to relatives and survivors of exhumations slated to occur in October to December, 2006.
