Maria Guardado has been diagnosed with cancer of the colon. She is strong and has made the decision not to submit to chemotherapy and to instead take natural medicines. She is now making plans to go for treatment in Cuba and needs to raise funds for her and Lijia, a companera from Nicaragua who will be going with her. In Cuba she will stay with the family of Aracely, a compa who is a mutual friend of ours here in L.A. Any amount you can donate for Maria and her angelic compa will be greatly appreciated! Maria asked that cash be given or checks made out to me so that I can cash them for her. She is optimistic! I just spoke with Maria and she is feeling ok. With a big hug from Maria to all of you! Thank you! Sandra My address: Sandra Sunshine Williams 551 Via de la Paz Pacific Palisades, CA 90272 Maria Guardado is Salvadoran political refugee, having received political asylum from the United States in 1983, fleeing the U. S. backed civil war in her native El Salvador. Because of her political activity, the Salvadoran death squads had targeted her in 1980. She was tortured and left for dead in the streets. Now living in Los Angeles, Maria reveals how she recovered from her personal horror and she continues her life as a political activist and poet. In March of 2000, Maria returned to El Salvador to participate in the grand March to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the assignation of Archbishop Oscar Romaro. Along the way she returns to her hometown of San Miguel to revisit and reflect on the past. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzaEIpARXu0 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- LAAMN: Los Angeles Alternative Media Network --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe: <mailto:[email protected]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe: <mailto:[email protected]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Digest: <mailto:[email protected]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Help: <mailto:[email protected]?subject=laamn> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post: <mailto:[email protected]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archive1: <http://www.egroups.com/messages/laamn> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archive2: <http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yahoo!
