Disaster Risk Reduction in El Salvador
Posted on 29. Aug, 2011 by Nikki Massie.
Believe it or not, the gentleman in this picture is not in any danger. He’s not an injured person being transported to the hospital nor is he part of a part of any show or stunt (or on the losing end of any bet). In fact, by being attached to that wooden board by a [...]
