Today, Salvi Soul's Karla Vásquez returns to the podcast to break down the emotional labor behind documenting a community's untold stories and why finishing a project can change the way you walk through the world. == Help us keep making content!

¿Quién lo diría? En la cuna misma de nuestra cultura, los salvadoreños aún nos seguimos preguntando: ¿quiénes somos? Amaru, conductor de Proyecto Chachalaca, explora esta pregunta a través de la historia, la música, la ciencia, y mucho más - una invitación a redescubrir El Salvador con ojos nuevos. == Help us keep making content!

Special collaboration episode with @proyecto chachalaca!  En este episodio especial de Proyecto Chachalaca nos reencontramos con Carlos Guadrón, creador de Salvis Unidos, para conversar sobre los caminos, dilemas y afectos que recorren los salvadoreños fuera del país. Hablamos de identidad, nostalgia, y los objetos simbólicos que sostienen la salvadoreñidad más allá de nuestras fronteras —una bandera sobre la refri, un yaverito con el volcán, el olor a pollo campero en el aeropuerto. Pero también nos adentramos en lo incómodo: ¿cómo se interpreta El Salvador desde afuera? ¿Qué piensan los Salvis del costo de la vida, la vivienda, la política? ¿Y qué piensan los de aquí sobre que los de allá opinen? Este episodio no busca respuestas fáciles. Se trata de tender puentes, aunque a veces crujan. De reconocer que somos distintos, pero estamos tejidos por un mismo hilo: ese deseo profundo de pertenecer. Este podcast fue grabado en El Salvador, Centro America.

Dr. Juan Antonio Sorto, co-founder of Friends of El Salvador, shares how they're bridging the Salvadoran experience between the US and ES, and why cultural reconnection and community engagement is just as important as infrastructure.

 We never imagined that we'd make such a big impact with this podcast. This episode we'll explore how Elisabeth Villalta and her family had their lives changed forever in a way they never expected. This is a story about the search for family and identity. It's also a story about the power of community and how it can help overcome the impossible and reunite long lost families. Who are you? Where do you come from? The need to find and define our identity is innate in all of us. We don't need it to live, to eat, to reproduce. Still, we can't ignore it. You need to know your story and the stories of all the people it took to make you. This is where Elisabeth Villalta finds herself and this is where this story will take us. (00:00:00) Start (00:01:35) Intro (00:04:10) Napo's Background (00:08:25) Elisabeth's Curiosity and the trip to Berlin (00:34:55) Unexpected Message (00:46:45) Zoom Call and New Relatives (01:01:41) The Search Continues (01:11:29) Calling all listeners (01:13:41) Close out - Season End Music: "La Alegría del Encuentro" by Mauricio Trabanino "Canción de Cuna" by Mauricio Trabanino

 In the second part of Salvadorans Around the World, we visit exotic locations like California and North Carolina, but we're also visiting Poland, the Philippines, South Korea, and the UK ! We'll hear from Camila, Roberto y Lilian, Kenia, Milly, David, Mauricio, and Natalie! Join us as we listen to stories about all kinds of journeys, from adventures to foreign lands to the search for home and family. Camila Amaya Navarrete Roberto Alvarado Y Lilian - Soccer and Smiles https://www.soccerandsmiles.org/ in English https://www.futbolysonrisas.org/ en Español Kenia Calderon Milly Guardado David Aguiluz Mauricio Roque Natalie Silva Thank you to everyone that took part in this months-long project. In our community, there is a prevailing sense of invisibility. That the challenges we face are often overlooked. Many Salvadorans navigate through life overcoming hardships, confronting traumas, and cherishing small victories, all while feeling isolated in their struggles. This is why we feel it's so important to share our stories—both monumental and everyday. Thank you to the Salvadorans willing to share their story with us. It takes courage to open up and we want to acknowledge your gift of authenticity. It may not feel like a lot, but sharing your stories helps us all feel more connected to each other. Also thank you for listening and sharing our work. It's thanks to your support that our community feels seen. Together, we're making our stories less invisible with each shared moment.
