A goal of our eco clubs was to raise money and carry out an excursion to a national park at the end of the school year (November). We organized a bus trip from our town to Volcanoes National Park, about four hours west. Approximately 60 people went on the trip and half of those embarked on the climb up Volcán Izalco (pictured). The park is located in a cloud forest. It was a great day.

Shortly after this picture was taken, a thunderstorm rolled in. Everyone practically ran down the volcano.
The kids in the back of the bus sang for most of the ride home. We sang a well-received rendition of one of El Salvador's favorite songs: Lady in Red.
