Guatemalan Owned/Operated Businesses--please read and help
Hello all. I have been quiet here lately, but I need your help on an upcoming project for Friends Through Guatemalan Adoption in Cincinnati. We are planning out annual Make A Difference Day project for 2007 and are trying a new idea this year.
We are compiling every business we can find either in a local area or online that is owned or operated by a Guatemalan. Then we are going to ask everyone we know to patronize any business on the list on Make A Difference Day--October 27th. Then we will have a reporting system through our websites for people who participate to report in where they spent their money and a total spent. We want to see how much money we can flood into Guatemalan businesses in one day! Here's the help we need from you: Please PM me the name and location/phone number of any businesses in your area or online that you know of that are Guatemalan owned or operated. They can be bakeries, restaurants, groceries, landscape businesses, cooperatives on the web, etc... We want to build the most comprehensive list possible for the entire US! I know you are not allowed to post on a thread this info so please PM it, but please help keep this thread at the top of the list for a few days so all can see it by bumping it as you read or commenting in some way! Thanks so much and I will be sure to find a way for all of you to access the list once it is compiled--and hopefully you will help make October 27th Make A Difference Day by Patronizing a Guatemalan Business a huge success! Sonya
