News! News! News!

We have raised over $1500 for student sponsorship. This includes some monthly contributions. We have been assigned 4 students so far. If you would like the list of students that we are currently assigned to and how to view their information at mayanfamilies.org, please email me.

There is a new organization called Across All Borders. They are selling cookbooks for a fundraiser to help with start up costs and buy supplies for their first trip to Guatemala. They are also collecting supplies for trips in June, October, and December. Please consider collecting and sending supplies. You can check here for a list of things that they need.

I am planning on asking people to donate things at my children's birthday parties. You can purchase vitamins for about $2 a bottle at Dollar General Stores. If shipping is an issue consider purchasing items online and having them shipped directly to Across All Borders. This is a religious affiliated organization.

Lastly, but certainly not least is continued need for student sponsorship and emergency school supply assistance through Mayan Families. If you are interested in knowing how to assist students in Guatemala with much needed school supplies (via donations of school supplies or money) please email me.

Keep Watching!

We are starting to get our student assignments. I will be posting information ASAP and give our totals. Thank you all for you generosity.

Lots of Stuff!

There is still a great need for sponsorship. Continue to let people know about this great opportunity.

There is a huge need for school supplies in Guatemala right now. To help immediately you can donate directly to mayanfamilies.org. Under the donation right for Emergency School Supplies. Many schools have no paper! not to mention textbooks. I will be calling for supplies soon so stay posted.

Can you afford $10?

I am trying so hard to see more students sponsored. Could you afford an additional $10 or $20 this month? Maybe those of us already sponsoring at a maximum amount could come together and give a smaller amount to equal some sponsorships. It makes me so sad to see 10, 11, 12 year olds going unsponsored. Many of these children will never return to school as the family will be dependant on their small income. What a difference an education would make in their lives. Please let me know what you can do to help...
