It’s difficult to believe that we already wrapped up 2023 and are running full force ahead into a
bright new year. As we reflect on the past year and all the amazing opportunities and challenges
it provided, and as we look ahead to our future, let us not forget our friends and families in El
Salvador. The love we show one another through solidarity is the greatest gift we can give or
receive, and the nurturing of our sister relationships is a manifestation of that love and solidarity.

FACES shared love by supporting various projects throughout the year, including a
FUNDAHMER delegate visit to various communities in the states, the women’s project in the
Monseñor Romero Community, assisting elderly women with the purchase of medicine and
medical appointments, and of course, supporting multiple scholarship students.

We have so many things to be grateful for as we plunge into 2024, and one of those being our
four scholarship graduates! Please join us in congratulating these four young men and women
on their accomplishments, and wishing them the very best for their future. Congratulations!
