Update On Families

Here's an updated list of what our families could REALLY benifit from:

Oscar #594

They need a bed, a closet, a table and four chairs,
and a cement floor. They also need a small kitchen built. and of course, food.

#592 Marcos

They need a cement floor , a large table and four or five chairs, traditional clothes for the little sister, she is not wearing the clothes from her village but second hand clothing from another village. An traditional outfit for her would be approx. $70.
I am sure that they would appreciate food as well.

#605 Rafael. Their greatest need would be to have the electricity connected.
a table and four chairs, build a small kitchen and of course, food.

While in Guatemala - we had a price quote to cover a cement floor for Marcos, the cost is between 300-400. I am waiting to hear about how much it would cost for Oscars home, as he lives near Pana - and I'm wondering if it will be cheaper because his home is not on a mountain side.

If you'd like to make donations to help these families - please go directly to http://www.mayanfamilies.org/ - when making a payment, be sure to include a note as to what the money should be used for. If you'd like to donate to me, you can do so - but please note it is not tax deductable - however, I will collect money and pool it all together to purchase bigger items (like the floors).

A good amount of food is about $45-65 per family.
