| Notes | Salvadoran civilians who spent the 1980s in contested territory tell stories of the "guinda," the desperate trek through the mountains in flight from an army responsible for repeated massacres. The guinda is a journey without a path, haunted by uncertainty.
Today in El Salvador, amidst the challenges of unfinished grieving, ongoing poverty and postwar violence, there is no clearly marked path to peace. Salvadoran peace building organization and MCC partner, Yek Ineme, has taken up the journey working alongside communities to identify causes of social conflict and explore nonviolent alternatives for change. This new journey is characterized by hope expressed in a Spanish proverb: "Traveler, there is no path. The path is made by walking."
