After some humming and hawing Josh decides to attempt to reseat the wheel with gasoline and a lighter. Yes... this is the time for Macgyver-type measures. And, what do you know, it works the first time. Wow!! At 3:30 AM, 12 hours later, all cars free.... mark.michaelis.net/2023/03/1…

Obviously, while not enough to do anything significant but we quickly walked up to the Iglesia Católica Santa Ana and then, in my wisdom, I casually directed us to purchase some ice-cream... It turns out, I was wrong. Not deterred, I ran and jumped... mark.michaelis.net/2022/06/0…
Back at the hostel the owner suggested we rent scooter and go exploring. They were 25 USD each and we headed out to see Lake Ilopango, navigating through San Salvador. mark.michaelis.net/2022/06/0…

My initial attraction to GiveDirectly was the extensive studies they did in the onset to show the positive impact of the cash transfers and verification that, in fact, recipients overwhelmingly made positive choices in what to do with the money. mark.michaelis.net/2022/04/2…
This time we decided to be more deliberate in walking into areas that were less tourist and commercial (but staying within the safety boundaries suggested by the hotel). We headed north along the main road until we found a dark enough alley... mark.michaelis.net/2022/04/2…
From my perspective, both GiveDirectly activities were emotionally charged and the joy and excitement palpable. I had to suppress my emotional joy bordering on any tears leaking out. I was honored and blessed to be included. mark.michaelis.net/2022/04/2…
We spoke with the doctor at length and she was quite open about her experiences. She talked about how the surgery was not always sufficient because in many case when the women left they were going back to the same crappy circumstances i mark.michaelis.net/2022/04/1…
