Due to several requests we are extending our MOTHERS DAY BASKETS Project till the end of next week., Friday 16th. 2008.
If you would like to donate a basket of nutritious food for a family - there is still time! Please send in your donation
asap!
We were lucky enough to deliver 271 baskets to needy families this week!
A mother's work is never done. This couldn't be truer for many of the
indigenous women here in Guatemala who wash clothes by hand, grind corn,
collect and chop firewood, carry water long distances often while carrying
a baby on their back.
In addition to these difficulties the cost of the price of living has
increased in Guatemala over the recent months which has radically impacted
the community, making daily life even harder for already struggling
families.
All mothers want the same thing for their children; to be healthy, well fed
and happy.
Sadly many mothers in Guatemala are unable to give this to their children.
Please consider giving a Mother's Day Basket that is full of nutritious
food.
You can give this basket to a family for just $30 US.
A Mayan Families basket will include:
- Roast Chicken,
- Oatmeal,
- Pasta,
- Rice,
- Coffee,
- Black beans,
- Oil,
- Carrots,
- Bananas,
- Pineapple,
- Incaprina (a nutritious, high fibre local beverage),
- and all goods will be packaged in a multipurpose, reusable plastic
basket.
We hope that this Mother's Day you can assist us in supporting and honoring
a Mother in the Guatemalan Highlands.
If you would like to donate this gift in honor of a special mother - we will
be happy to announce this on our website.
We thank you for your continued support. To pay for your Mother's Day Basket please go to the contribute button, and send S30 to the Mayan Families Food and Milk Program.
