“Why they suffer. . . “
2005 Connect Education International
Santa Luisa is located in the heart of the Mercado Central.
The Mercado Central occupies building and street space around the cathedral of San Salvador.
Children often accompany their parents at the market stalls.
A cup of soy milk may be the only nutrition received until dinner.
Just beyond the school doors a different life awaits.
Santa Luisa students often help their parents in the market after classes.
Gangs provide the only structure for many Salvadoran youth.
A break from the hustle and bustle of the market, like this one to Parque de la Familia is a much needed retreat.
