TWP’s travel arm returned to El Salvador in May, with a sweeping tour that opened eyes, warmed hearts and, maybe, just maybe, blasted away a few myths that pervade mainstream news reports. El Salvador is dangerous. Perhaps in some places, but anywhere can be dangerous, even your own backyard or kitchen if you happen to be inept with sharp objects. At El Porvenir, the biggest danger we faced was eating too many pupusas or scorching our fingers as the women of the village taught “pupusas-101” on a fuel-efficient stove installed specifically to show off to the visitors.
