But we have no food right now. Ayala helps her mother take care of her five brothers and sisters. Their father no longer lives with them so the family fends for itself. At first sight, the island looks like paradise. They're also afraid of more aftershocks and they don't want to be out on the bay away from their families.

Thanks to CARE's help, many families will be able to eat tonight. The mayor's office supplied CARE with the boats that made the delivery of aid possible. So far, CARE has distributed food to more than 35,000 people throughout El Salvador. If you have questions or comments, please click here and fill out our feedback form.
