A group of Master Guides from Seventh-day Adventist churches in eastern El Salvador joined the effort to battle forest fires that spread across the mountainous region of Arambala in the northern part of Morazán state in March 2021. Hundreds of acres of forest terrain were destroyed by the fires.
A group of more than 20 young people made the journey to transport water to firefighters, national police, civil protection agents, and other volunteers who were working to weaken the fires.

A new generation demands justice for El Mozote massacre in El Salvador 2 minutes read
By Hugo Sánchez
Arambala, El Salvador, Dec 12 (efe-epa).- They didn’t see the blood nor the gunfire. They didn’t hear the screams nor the shrapnel. They didn’t flee through the streets nor did they leave behind what they had built with their own hands turning into ashes.
But everything that the brutality of the Salvadoran army destroyed in El Mozote and the surrounding areas in December 1981 was also a part of them, of their lives.
From the ashes of the El Mozote massacre, which claimed some 1,000 lives, is emerging a new generation of children and grandchildren of survivors who are not afraid to take the baton in their fight to salvage their family members’ memory and to secure justice in courts.
