Can you bring a smile to this child's face?

This free photo slideshow personalized with Smilebox

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.
