Today Scott (my boyfriend who flew in for the week) and I headed out to San Miguel Escobar, one of the towns devastated by the mudslide during the recent storm, to pitch a hand. I was AMAZED by the amount of trucks and backhoes now on the site. At first, we couldn't get into the area. There was a sign that said that the government was now working in the area. This is great news!
We were still able to help one family. Although the mud is being removed from the streets at a fast pace, most families are on their own as far as getting the mud out of their house and replacing their lost possessions. Also, some families still have no houses to go home to.
The organization As Green As It Gets has been on the scene in San Migel Escobar. They have great information about the site and an awesome video here at As Green As It Gets.
