El Salvador is a country with breathtaking landscapes and a vibrant culture. It's the smallest country in Central America, but it has a population of approximately 6.5 million people. Salvadorans are friendly and hospitable. They carry within them a beacon of light that serves as a sign of hope and inspiration for those seeking peace in a troubled world.
Just like Christ endured isolation and loneliness in his darkest hour, it is all too common for people who identify as neurodivergent to feel marginalized and unaccepted.

I have been able to see the face of Christ in my first, third, and fifth grade students everyday.
Whenever I walk across campus and pass a student they almost always run up and give me a big hug and ask when we will have class next. (And then they usually ask me if they’ve earned their five good behavior stickers to get a pencil next class—the kids go crazy for pencils).

"The opportunity for Compline at UD has been a real blessing in my practice of faith this past year. The weekly Thursday prayer sessions have been a consistent period of encounter with the grace and peace of Christ's presence." (Joshua Michonski '23)
