Rene Leon

Inmigration series 4

Our fourth and final salvadoran inmigration series is about a Harvard Student. Rene Leon belongs to the few group of salvadorans who have studied at Harvard. He came to the United States in the late 90's. He emphazises the importance of education as a key develpoment for the inmigrants living in America. Thus he implies the importance of having education in El Salvador as well.

Rene talks about how important inmigrants can be. He says: "A salvadoran inmigrant goes from the guy who works in a restaurant to a World Bank official". For all salvadorans, there is no doubt that the community living in the United States is key for the development of El Salvador. Leon thinks that the efforts of the salvadorans oversees need a better coordination to help aid the sometimes caotic reality of El Salvador.
