BROADER INSPRIATION
El Camino Seguro:
​
This is my favorite literacy program. It gets the children of trash-pickers in the totally toxic city dump in Guatemala City into a school built in the dump, then also brings their parents out. After costs of paper, drawing materials, scanning, printing, shipping and marketing are met, a part of the proceeds from my drawings will go to this charity.
I first visited El Camino Seguro, started by a young woman from Maine, in 2006 as one of the selected professors for a National Endowment for the Humanities on Mayan Worlds. In 2009 I took two large groups of students to visit the facility when I was faculty on Semester at Sea.
