Exploring & Dialogue
This is the first week of our Quick Scan/Inceptive phase, meaning visiting different locations in order to select our locations for the Case Study.
We started off on Tuesday with a visit to Paraíso de Osorio accompanied by people from Fundasal. We drove up a mountain for quite some time and had opportunities to enjoy the view of the big lake.
When we arrived at the location we began talking to people about the natural disasters that occurred and the vulnerability of the place. It’s obvious that interviewing offers a lot more information that we imagined. We focused on the process and the solutions and/or possibilities for the future generation. We experienced a lot curiosity in the sense that we tried to make pictures while young girls were sniggering and making pictures of us as well.

On Wednesday we visited Santa Tecla, with our friend Roberto from Fundasal who lives there. While we did not talk to anyone specific we drove around different places which had meaning in the response process. For example a partially deserted place where people were not able to return because of economical & political reasons, to a big open football fields where the shelters were placed.

Thursday was the day of Los Manantiales & Mejicanos. We already learned a lot about the programs of Fundasal and we could switch from generic to specific questions in the interviews. The weather on this day was the hottest of the entire week and we experienced a little envy to the children of Los Manantiales playing in outside swimming pools. Both places, Los Manantiales & Mejicanos, showed potential for case studies, but these as well as every other location we visited were mostly affected by the earthquake of ’86. We might have to reconsider the UE-norm of a 10 year timeframe for when the last natural disaster happened.

We round up this week with a visit two more locations in La Paz, San Pedro & Santa Maria Ostuma. Here we met keyfigures of the response process, a community leader, a local priest and City Hall council. These interviews were very productive. We were able to learn a lot about the process, social networking and plans, provided that a lot of the key information was bodied in negativity about others. We round up the day by meeting a contact from UCA, during ‘Salsa night’ in the bar next to our hotel. We might have to brush up on our salsa skills as well as our Spanish.
