I am originally from the municipality of El Paisnal, Department of San Salvador, El Salvador. I worked as a volunteer with the Christian communities sponsored by elements of the Catholic Church from 1973 through 1977, the year in which Father Rutilio Grande García was assassinated on March 12th.
I collaborated with agricultural workers’ organizations, including FECCAS ( Christian Federation for Salvadorian Farm Workers) and UTC (Farm Worker’s Union), which struggled for workers’ rights and claimed benefits, from 1977 through 1980, the year in which the atrocity against Monsignor Óscar Arnulfo Romero y Galdámez occurred, on Monday, March 24th.
From 1980 to 1984, I joined the workers’ movement to ensure that the rights of people were not violated, therefore fought for the civil rights of all citizens. I have resided in the United States with my wife and children since 1985.
I love to compose songs, although I have not gotten around to publishing any of them. I have also written another book which has yet to be published, called “Dumb Stones”, a biographical work, which I plan to complete and publish shortly.view less
