Announcing our next project...

There is a lot to report on and I will be posting lots of new information over the next few days. Please watch for the great posts, including picture updates of our students.

Our next project will be water filters. This is a great project because using a matching grant through the rotary club... each $1 become $4. That equates to each $50 filter becoming 4. Each filter will last the average family in the area Mayan Famliies works in about 2 years. So we can affect about 30-40 people with a single $50 donation. Clean water is so important! I am working on several avenues to help get water filters to our sponsored families as well as other families in the area. There is severe need among the elderly.

I am also looking for families that would be interested in shipping items to Guatemala.

As always... you can email me at givingtoguatemala@gmail.com

Thanks,
Kim

No news

I haven't heard anything about what you guys are currently interested in, but I have been working hard.

I have been working with a lot of people collecting donations to send down to Guatemala. I will post pictures soon, but I have lots of toothbrushes, shoes, clothes, vitamins and toys for the new preschool that Mayan Families has opened. I am sending two boxes down on Saturday.

If you are interested in shipping donations to Guatemala, please let me know. Organizing a shipment or just sending something to Guatemala is a great way to give back.

I will be out of pocket starting on Friday (15th) until the following Sunday (24th). If you send me an email, I will get back ASAP.

Thanks for all of your ideas and support. We ARE making a difference.

What would you like to be part of?
