picture. I will post pictures after the event on Christmas Eve. Thank you!

Here are all of the families that we are trying to bring Christmas to in Santa Maria Ixhuatan, Santa Rosa, Guatemala.  This village is about 3 hours outside of Antigua and until we visited this summer had never received assistance from outside organizations because they are too far away.  These are the poorest of the poor and live without running water (more in the future about a project to bring them water).  We were able to provide beds and food baskets this summer and would like to bring a little Christmas cheer to them during this holiday season. 

If you are able to help, you can make a tax deductible donation click on the donate button on the right side of this page.  We want to provide tamales, a food basket and a small toy for each child.  This is a great gift for that hard to shop for person who has everything and needs nothing.  If you include your address when you donate, I will make sure you get a photo card to give as a gift to your recipient.  If you want to sponsor a particular family for Christmas, just tell me their number that is under their picture.  I will post pictures after the event on Christmas Eve.  Thank you!

Three of our GAPKC families were part of a team of 26 this summer visiting a remote village in Guatemala. Tonight I received a plea for help to bring Christmas to 40 of the poorest families in the village. We would like to provide tamales, a small food basket and small toy for the kids for Christmas.

The goal is to provide 400 tamales, 40 food baskets and a 200 small toys for the children. The cost of the project is $1400.00.

I know many of you have already allocated your Christmas dollars but if you have anything you want to contribute to this village it will be greatly appreciated. I will make sure that each person that contributes receives a thank you card with a picture of a recipient of your gift. So if you want to give on behalf of someone this is a great gift for that hard to buy for person that has everything and wants nothing.

To make a tax deductible contribution click on the Donate button on the right of this page.

If you include your address I will send you a thank you card with a picture of a recipient that you are helping and I will post pictures of the event after it takes place on Christmas Eve.

Thank you for anything you are able to contribute. Help us bring smiles to these kids faces for Christmas.
