Chicagoan and Global Activist, Debra Gittler wanted to “create conditions on-the-ground through literacy education, opportunity and advocacy” to help children in Central America thrive. So she started the organization ConTextos and moved to El Salvador. On this week’s Global Activism segment, Gittler is back from El Salvador and will update us on her progress since expanding her mission to work with prisoners in El Salvador’s criminal justice system.
