Maryknoll • laymissioners.maryknoll.org
Our Friends Across Borders program strives to educate participants
living in the U.S. about the communities we serve in mission.
By joining us on a short mission awareness immersion trip to one
of our ministries, participants deepen and enrich their understanding
of mission and build friendships across borders. They experience,
first-hand, the culture and lives of the communities in which
Maryknoll Lay Missioners serve. We schedule trips to our ministry
communities in places like Bolivia, Brazil, Cambodia, Chile, El
Salvador, Tanzania, and the US - Mexico border at El Paso, TX
- Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. For more information, please email Friends
Across Borders, call 414-461-1810, or download a PDF

Global Exchange • www.globalexchange.org/tours
The idea that travel can be educational, fun, and positively influence
international affairs motivated the first Global Exchange Reality
Tours in 1989. Our tours provide individuals the opportunity to
understand issues beyond what is communicated by the mass media
and gain a new vantage point from which to view and affect US
foreign policy. Travelers are linked with activists and organizations
from around the globe who are working toward positive change.
We also hope to prompt participants to examine related issues
in their own communities. www.globalexchange.org/tours/
SHARE foundation • www.share-elsalvador.org
Delegations give you a chance to experience
the reality of life in El Salvador. Delegates learn about the
history of El Salvador and the road that has lead to today's economic
situation. In addition, delegates become familiar with SHARE's
partner organizations and their work, which provide a window to
the popular resistance of the poor in El Salvador. With this background,
delegations visit countryside communities to meet people and to
enjoy the warmth of Salvadoran hospitality. Each delegation also
takes a little time for relaxation, like a trip to the beach or
time spent in the natural surroundings of this beautiful country.
This is a once in a lifetime chance to come and visit El Salvador,
"El Rincon Magico" or the "Magical Corner"
of Central America. It is an unforgettable and life-changing experience!
CRISPAZ • www.crispaz.org
El Salvador Encounter is a faith-based
delegation experience where participants learn from the Salvadoran
people about their lives, histories and hopes for the future.
Encounters are 7 to 10 days long and offer the opportunity to
explore a different reality while focusing on a theme chosen by
the group. Participants learn directly from the Salvadorans about
issues such as the impact of war, neo-liberal economics, U.S.
foreign policy and a tradition of liberating faith. The
focus of the El Salvador Encounter program is not only to develop
a greater knowledge of El Salvador as a whole, but also to develop
an understanding of the people and to build relationships. The
El Salvador Encounter program is sponsored by CRISPAZ. We have
been leading tours and seminars to El Salvador since 1985. Our
in-country staff can organize a delegation to meet the needs and
interests of your group.

Peace Brigades International • www.peacebrigades.org
Peace Brigades International (PBI) is
a non-governmental organization (NGO) which protects human rights
and promotes nonviolent transformation of conflicts. PBI volunteers
and supporters around the world demonstrate that individuals working
together can act boldly as peacekeepers even when governments
cannot or will not. When invited, we send teams of volunteers
into areas of repression and conflict. The volunteers accompany
human rights defenders, their organizations and others threatened
by political violence. Perpetrators of human rights abuses usually
do not want the world to witness their actions. The presence of
volunteers backed by a support network helps to deter violence.
We create space for local activists to work for social justice
and human rights.Currently, we have volunteers protecting human
rights activists in Colombia, Guatemala , Indonesia and Mexico,
as well as a project starting in Nepal and a joint project with
other organizations in Chiapas, Mexico.
