Disaster in El Salvador

When Jennifer Guralnick signed on with CUSO, she knew it would be a life changing experience. But she didn't know how much. Jennifer was in El Salvador during the recent earthquake. Hundreds were killed, and 45,000 homes were damaged. Jennifer's been helping with relief efforts ever since. She told us about it on Maritime Noon, and requested that anyone who wanted to make a donation call CUSO at 1-800-676-8411.
