Jan 1, 1990 | El Salvador

First trip outside the U.S., and the bar was set pretty high. Two thousand Salvadoran refugees had been living at a camp in Colomoncagua, Honduras, for 9 years and they wanted to go home, so I volunteered to help accompany them across the border to Morazon province. Met a lot of good people with good intentions, from all walks of life and every corner of the world, but also learned a lot about shades of gray.
