Would you like to make a tax deductible donation to my future projects?

Hello Fellow Blog Readers:

To those of you who are interested, I will be setting up an account that will allow you to make tax deductible donations to the projects I will be working on my second year. I will be spending my first year working on education. Then in my second year, I will determine families that are in need of a project in order for them to better their health. Projects could include, an improved cook stove, latrine, cement floor, water storage system, or drainage system. Criteria for recipients of projects will also be based on families dedication to the educational health talks that I will be giving and how great their desire is to better their health. More details to come concerning cost break down as it becomes available.

I am giving you a heads up so that you can start putting money away for this now if you so desire, maybe you have something you can give up and instead of spending the money you can send it towards a good cause. I will be setting up a fund when the time gets closer to begin my projects.

Temux Mayan Artisian Co-op

Please check out the website of this Guatemalan women's co-op selling traditional handbags. Each handbag is hand woven and your money will go directly to support these women and their families. Check out the website to learn more. Each handbag has a picture with the women who made it and a little bit about their family. A fellow PCV is working with these women as part of the co-op. Check it out! It's really a great cause! If you want one I am pretty sure that I can get it to bring it home with me when I come back for Christmas to save on shipping cost. Shoot me an e-mail if you are interested in me bringing one home for you.
