Participants will have an incredible 7-day journey experiencing the Salvadoran culture and history meeting IPM Project Partners in Mejicanos, San Salvador, and Zaragoza. While there, they were guided by IPM Staff from Cleveland and El Salvador. By visiting the martyr sites of the civil war and spending time with the children, women, and youth of IPM’s Project Partners, this experience provides a profound understanding of this beautiful country.
