AID FOR FAMILIES IN GUATEMALA
 
Hi, all -
I received word from my friend Mynor at the Cooperativa school in San Pedro La Laguna that there are about 60 families there living in shelters - the municipal building, churches, and schools - due to the devastating flooding. Money is desperately needed for food and other necessities. If you're interested in donating, there's a Paypal link on the school website or email me - I'll be wiring money down to my Beca Project account later in the week - a faster way for them to get it.

I've been wondering how the people in San Pedro were doing. I will definitely make a donation. I'll email you.

Devastating. Thanks for posting, hope.

Thanks for your generosity, Marry Ann. When people who were already so marginalized lose everything, it has a whole different meaning than in more developed parts of the world.

Sorry, Mary Ann - I just noticed the typo in your name.
