santa ana green
Came upon this scene far outside Granada, in the rural community of Santa Ana, visiting the childen there that are also in Empowerment International's education programme. You can see the flimsy house -shelter through the trees. But beautiful music was playing, a spanish guitar recording, and the rhythmic sound of someone chopping wood was like a pulse moving through the air as a boy rode by on a bike. For a moment I thought I was viewing paradise. Til I remembered the desperate reality of the lives lived here and in the barrio villa esperanza. But then again, maybe Maria-Celeste's grace comes from the fact that she knows something I don't know.
