Will my christian service trip to El Salvador be safe?

I am traveling to El Salvador this summer with my high school to learn about the culture and help rebuild schools and houses for some of the poorer regions. Will I be safe. I am a white american girl and I am worried that maybe there will be terroists, gangs,extremists, or some other terrible fate awaiting me. I want to know if this is safe. Are there people who kill christians there. I belive I will be in a hotel for living accomodations but, by day I will be in the real areas of El Salvador.

Talk to the adults in charge of the trip. Have they been there before? Have they taken students on a similar mission in the past? What have they done to research safety issues? How many adults will be with how many students at all times? I would presume the organizes know what they are doing. Talk to them abut your concerns. then, use your good common sense, stay with the group, follow the rules. HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT EXPERIENCE.

I gave you an answer on your other post.
It would help to know exactly where you are going.
Enjoy and have fun.


JUST ME.
no, i've been there numerous times...and i haven't seen terrorists, gangs,extremist etc..people over there are actually very nice

but just be careful...you don't want to walk around with alot of jewelry on...it attracts the thieves.

You are not going to be killed for being Christian, most people in El Salvador are Christians, more than 97%, and the rest are Atheist with very small Jewish minorities.
