Leid Stories—The Storm Still Rages in Puerto Rico--08.15.18

Elisa Llenza, a citizen-journalist and activist, reports that crisis is the order of the day in Puerto Rico in just about every sphere of life for most Puerto Ricans. Ten months after Hurricane Maria hit the island, and after promises of federal aid to restore basic services, for example, thousands of school children and their teachers have no idea where classes are to be held. And there still is not a true accounting of how many lives were lost to the hurricane. For most, life is at bare subsistence level, Llenza reports, and even as the people persist, there is little indication things will change soon.
