April 15, 2005, 8:15 A.M.
At Roxana’s house. Drove to the school to take pictures. Roxana showed us the out-house. It is two stools over a concrete cistern. The building is a block building with a double door frame. One door for each stall. The door frame had long since deteriorated and been discarded. The roof had also been gone for years. One wall is leaning.

The school has no water.

Roxana stayed due to the L4L program.

Crossed the border to El Salvador, went to computer café. Electricity to the entire city was down till 3:00 we were told. Shopped around the bizarre, had lunch (sea food soup), went back to the café. Electricity was down till 5:00 or whatever. Went back to Roxana’s house.

Roxana’s daughters made a very well rehearsed plea for help for a 7th grade boy who is extremely poor and about to drop out of school.

Went to a computer café at the town where the dentist lives. Power was off so the café was closed. Roxana called but she would not come to talk to us so we went back to Roxana’s.

Talked to Anabel and Roxana about her accommodations.

Got to the motel at 9:30.
