Although recent news reports document the desperate attempts of migrants from Central America seeking asylum in the United States, less well known are the millions of people who may face similar conditions and may be internally displaced yet remain in their home countries. This book explores the lives of individuals coping with poverty and the threat of violence while remaining in El Salvador. It presents the efforts of young adults to obtain an education and escape poverty and street gang extortion and violence. The stories of students and others convey a difficult social and economic reality, but also tell of resilience, courage, and miraculous growth as these young people navigate difficult formative years to obtain an education, self-confidence and employment to advance themselves, their families and El Salvador.
