Several weeks ago, Tattoo writer Oscar Ramirez spent some time at a San Salvador shelter to talk with teens who’d have troubled times and interview the woman who ran it, Ana Lara. He came away with a lot of information.
But it turned out that we had to rush publication.
On Wednesday, March 29, a baby at the shelter died under unclear circumstances. Lara piled the rest of the kids in a van and drove off. Police are still looking for her as they try to figure out what happened to the baby.
Ramirez provides a telling glimpse into life at the shelter and the motives of the woman who created it years ago. It’s an important story in El Salvador and an interesting one for anybody, anywhere. Read it at:
