New Donate buttons

I have placed new donate buttons under each additional student on the right. This allows you to more easily donate directly to a student's needs. Remember you can also donate directly to these students on the Mayan Families website. Please just email me for their student number in order for Mayan families to direct the funds.

School Supplies

Hi Everyone,
One of our wonderful "members" is travelling to Guatemala and has gotten together backpacks and school supplies for all of our sponsored students.
I will still continue funds for school supplies. These supplies will go into the general school supply donations for Mayan Families. A woman is collecting money and covering the shipping herself. You can donate via paypal. If you would like to send a check please email me for details. These donations will not be tax deductible.
Thanks,
Kim Santee

Back to School

For lots of us the Back to School sales are upon us, and there are great deals. I will be involved in a shipment to Guatemala in August/September. This shipment will include school supplies for the school year that will begin in January there AND toys for Christmas.

I am looking for people who would like to sponsor a backpack full of school supplies OR send school supplies with money for shipping. I am also looking for people interested in sending toys donation for distribution.

Lastly, I have a ton of donations that need to be shipped. The cost of shipping is $17/cubic foot. If anyone has extra money to help cover shipping please consider donating.

Updates

We have received a wonderful picture colored by one of our students. It is from Alejandro and he is full of gratitude for what we are doing for him. I will be posting scans in the next few days.
