 "Guatemala's cold
temperatures at this time of year is brutal on poor villagers.
See
Cold Weather Report.
Poor villagers in the mountains
don't have the money to buy extra blankets. This year's cold has already taken
the lives of nine people... Please help us get the blankets out as soon as
possible, donate today.
You can save a family from the cold this holiday season, for only $4
Our goal this year is 1,000 blankets."
Update
The 2006-07 Blanket Project was a huge
success! Our goal was 1,000 blankets - we received enough donations for
1,200 blankets.
We greatly thank all of you for your donations and helping the people of San
Rafael, Santa Maria and San Jose de Yalu.
As were handing out the blankets at the clinic, we treated all the
elderly and widows to a special traditional drink called 'Ponché'.
Ponché is like a hot cider
that is made from a variety of fruits & cinnamon. The people were so
touched with the gifts of blankets and ponché, they sang
for all the staff to show their gratitude!
It was truly wonderful blessing that the project went well... the
mountains got drastically cold (see
cold weather report). While we
still had some babies with pneumonia, we can only imagine how many more their
could have been if not for the blankets.
Thank you!
