Smile Service Trip for Mayan Families!

Hi, everyone! It has been a while since I posted. Little Franklin isn't so little anymore! He is having a great time with his older sibs.

I am so excited to be heading back to Guatemala with 15 other women, many of whom are fellow adoptive moms. We are going to spend one week in Panahachel, working with Mayan Families in their medical clinics, healthy pets program, offices, and on their tamale basket project.

Feel free to peruse our website - and please considering helping out by donating some vitamins, gauze, etc.

Helping Mayan Families

Thanks for Looking!

Laura

What a wonderful service trip. Will you be doing another one? I have some SW students who would be interested in a trip of this nature.

Wow! What a project and what a web-site! Love it! Where do I send items to? Do you want to bring down Christmas gifts for general distribution?

Daphne,

Christmas gifts are being handled by a sister group - and I think they have what they need. I'll PM you my mailing address for medical supplies, though! Thanks...

Future Trips...

Hi -

Several people have asked about future trips - if you look on our website HelpingMayanFamiles, and click on the Contact Us page (after of course checking out the You Can Help Page ), you can send us a message with your interest areas and your contact info. One of our group is compiling a list of folks interested in future trips!

Also, if you check out the "Contact Us" page - you will find an easy way to figure out where to ship donated supplies....

Thanks again - you guys rock!
