Serving in the Peace Corps in El Salvador from 1974-1977 truly was a life-changing experience. I was a member of the team that planned and launched El Salvador’s first national park and living and working among the Salvadoran people taught me to respect and learn from other cultures. Below is info on the Congressional Resolution.
