Residents of Renteria speak often of a raid in 1976 when scores of police, searching for terrorists, smashed shop windows, urinated in elevators and looted stores.

Teachers earn an average of $30 to $40 an hour, and can make as much as $12,000 a year teaching one course a week. But for many the rewards are more than monetary.
