CAMP (Central America Mission Partners) exemplifies how local San Francisco organizations impacted Central America. CAMP focused on small-scale rural projects, mostly in El Salvador, and even received support from the singer Bono of U2. The poster’s message is presented with no descriptive text. The simple graphic is clear enough: cut out the image on the dotted line and pass along the light of hope. The rural landscape at top is based on Salvadoran folk art.
