The photo was taken during the dry season in El Salvador. I have been taking teams of people every year since 2003 to work in a small village called Loma Linda. The people there are very poor. We have contributed in several areas: education, health care, support of religious education, home building, a micro-loan program, and agricultural programs. It is a project that is very important to me. If you look very carefully, just to the right of the picture you can see the roof tops of some of the village in the valley.
