March 2010
Dear Friends,
We are writing today to provide an update on the Hurricane Ida reconstruction efforts. Your expressions of solidarity
and your generosity have made it possible for great progress to be made since those first sad and uncertain days in early
November. On behalf of our colleagues and the communities in El Salvador, we thank you!
Since November, SHARE has worked continuously and in collaboration with partner organizations
across the United States to raise funds for emergency relief efforts. The president of SHARE’s Board of
Directors, Nicolas Avelar, raised more than $7,000 to support aid efforts in the town of Aguilares,
El Salvador.
Our compañeros y compañeras with CARECEN in San Francisco reached out to the Bay Area community
collecting donations over the course of several days in churches, farmers markets and other community events. The
funds they raised (more than $9,000) went directly to SHARE.
A nongovernmental cooperative in Spain channeled €5,000 euros ($6,824) through SHARE for relief efforts focused
on water sanitation and latrines. Additionally, many of SHARE’s sister parishes – who already invest significantly to
support partnerships and development in El Salvador – redoubled their efforts to raise relief funds. The parishes of
Faith Weaver’s of St. Mary in Michigan, Good Shepherd in Kansas and in Wisconsin, St. Patrick’s in Seattle and Brown
Memorial Presbyterian in Baltimore have collectively sent nearly $11,000 in aid.
We have been overjoyed and humbled by the assistance from partner organizations, faith communities and hundreds
of individual donors. These contributions to the Hurricane Ida relief efforts are serving 10 communities.
THANK YOU!!
From the beginning, SHARE committed to responding to the crisis of Hurricane Ida in two phases. During the first
phase we sent nearly $42,000 in order the supply the most immediate needs of food packages, portable water and
temporary sheltersupplies. The second phase of recovery has begun. Our staff in El Salvador is now compiling reports
from our counterparts and is in discussions about what will be involved. The focus will be on the sustainable
reconstruction of homes and replanting of crops. We want to thank our El Salvador staff, Marina, Tedde, Carmelina,
Laura, Danielle and Cristian for their tremendous work during the emergency!
Lastly, we want to share with you that SHARE is a part of an international coalition, ESFERA, which provides
emergency disaster preparedness trainings and information. The fact that Chile experienced much less damage than
Haiti did, even though the magnitude of the quake was much greater, demonstrates that the time and energy put into
natural disaster preparedness truly pays off. SHARE will continue to work with our partner organization and
communities to increase capacity for emergency response and preparedness in the future.
SHARE is looking forward to an exciting and productive 2010. In just two short weeks we will be in El Salvador to
join the delegation of pilgrims celebrating the legacy of Archbishop Oscar Romero. We are excited for what will surely
be an incredible demonstration of solidarity (and also for some tropical sun)! In December, SHARE will also host a
delegation to celebrate the lives of the 4 U.S. Churchwomen killed in 1980. Please join us on this delegation, which will
take place November 28th to Dec 5th 2010.
As always, we thank you for walking in solidarity with our Salvadoran brothers and sisters, for your continued
support, and we look forward to staying in touch with you as the year progresses. Please check out our website www.
share-elsalvador.org and your mail boxes in the coming months for pictures and recaps of the Romero delegation and
festivities.
Thank you for all you do.
Sincerely,
José Artiga Jillian Leslie
