Guitars Needed: 
Six years ago, Father Marcos Decis began an enormous project. The city dump and sewage plant was inhabited by more that 120 families living in subhuman conditions. The need was so great that soon Amigos por Cristo, a United States based non-governmental organization, took over and moved the entire population to a new home on a piece of land bought with a donation left behind by a cancer victim. This new community of 120 houses was named Santa Catalina in her memory. The inhabitants who used to “live” of off the city garbage, now drive bicycle taxis and work at textile factories.

The Yahoska Protection Center is located on the edge of San Marcos, a town characterized as a “college town.” Ave Maria University, the only American university found in Central America, is located here. The University classes are in English and students from around the world come to San Marcos to attend. The influence of foreigners is evident by the efforts made to help those in need in San Marcos.
