Hermanas Spokane celebrated their 10th anniversary on March 16, 2012. We are proud to have been in solidarity with our Hermanas in Huisisilapa (Huisi), San Pablo Tacachico, Dept La Libertad, El Salvador, Central America these past years. We have built solid trusting relationships with our Hermanas (women leaders in Huisi) as well as with the town council and the school board. Somebody from Hermanas has visited Huisisilapa at least every 18 months. Between our visits to Huisisilapa, Hermanas Spokane works to be in solidarity with one another so that we can better support our Hermanas and their families in El Salvador. We have supported the school board in their endeavor to become an accredited high school which they accomplished, support some Huisi high graduates pursue college degrees, as well as contribute to community activities and needs when possible. Meanwhile Hermanas Spokane become more aware of issues affecting our Salvadoran counterparts and learn from the patience, hard work and love with which they live their lives.
Hermanas Spokane has started a library fund to support the school and community at large. The library would be used as an additional classroom and provide space for children and adults to enjoy the world of reading. Currently the school has very few books, textbooks or recreational reading material and children and young adults do not have the luxury of owning their own books. A library would be a huge boost to the community. Anyone may contribute to the library fund by donating on this website. Be sure to donate that your donation is for the library. We need to raise $35,000 so stay tuned for additional activities.
