Plan Your El Salvador Encounter Now!
We are currently scheduling El Salvador Encounters for 2007. If you, your church, community organization, high school or university are planning on organizing a delegation to El Salvador in 2007, please contact Marielle Murphy-Perez at encounter@crispaz.org to reserve dates.

El Salvador Encounter is a faith-based delegation experience where participants learn from the Salvadoran people about their lives, histories and hopes for the future. Encounters are 7 to 10 days long and offer the opportunity to explore a different reality while focusing on a theme chosen by the group. Participants learn directly from the Salvadorans about issues such as the impact of war, neo-liberal economics, U.S. foreign policy and a tradition of liberating faith.

The focus of the El Salvador Encounter program is not only to develop a greater knowledge of El Salvador as a whole, but also to develop an understanding of the people and to build relationships. The El Salvador Encounter program is sponsored by CRISPAZ. We have been leading tours and seminars to El Salvador since 1985. Our in-country staff can organize a delegation to meet the needs and interests of your group.
