St. Elizabeth School and El Salvador Ministry

The March St. Elizabeth School Student trip to El Salvador was a resounding success. Click here to read the history of the El Salvadoran relationship with St. Elizabeth Parish and School.

St. Elizabeth Student Trip to El Salvador

Several years ago, the St. Elizabeth Parish El Salvador Ministry began talking about a student trip to El Salvador.  The trip and relationship would be beneficial for both the Salvadoran students and the St. E’s students, but the struggle was with the logistics.   For example:

Who would be the students most interested in going?
Who would accompany them?
When would be the best time to go?

With the help of several of the St. E’s school teachers, it was decided that the target audience was 7th and 8th graders, with parents and grandparents accompanying them.  And the best time to do it would be spring break.  Jackie O’Brien and Anne Ira organized and led the trip, and, by all accounts, it was a huge success.  

Upon their return the St Elizabeth’s Youth Trip group did a great job raising $1,300 for school supplies for the school in Palo Grande / Suchitoto (target goal was $1,000).

"Una Familia" t-shirts are for sale through St Elizabeth’s School. For every t-shirt purchased locally, a student in El Salvador receives the t-shirt.

Testimonials:
Isaac F.

The trip we took was extremely powerful. There were so many grateful people, and everyone was extremely kind. We worked together to help paint a mural, and it was a great activity to get to know the El Salvadorian people. We did many museums which weren't super interesting for the kids. but I could tell that some parents were really into it. My favorite part of the trip was when we climbed the volcano with the scholarship students. This was the time when we got the know them and truly had so much fun trying to communicate with them. I overall had a great time and would totally recommend it to other people.

I think that the trip was very valuable. I learned a lot about their culture and the conditions that they live in. They do not have nearly as much as we do but are still so happy. I love that they are happy about the slightest of things and are always smiling. I liked playing a soccer game with them. It also makes me want to help other people who have less than me. It makes me not want to complain about anything again. I wish that I could go back and visit my friends again in later years.

The El Salvador trip was wonderful! 
We spent a lot of time visiting the different communities and learning about their history. The people there were so incredibly gracious and welcoming! It was really fabulous watching as the students were able to make connections with new friends despite their language barriers.
