Christmas is coming....

...and will be here quicker than any of us realize. While most families i know are so blessed, well there are many others in the world who are not. Please consider helping a child in need...i received this email this morning and wanted to share it. Sharon and her husband do wonderful, wonderful work in Guatemala. Mayan Families is a small non-profit group operating in the Highlands of Guatemala. Sharon and Dewight Page live and work in the Lake Atitlan region. If you've never heard of the work of Mayan Families. they are supported completely through donations, which are U.S. tax deductible. They are also not affiliated with any political or religious groups...they truly do this because their hearts are in Guatemala. If you are making a trip to Guatemala soon, please let me know as i have a few things that i would love to donate.

Below is Sharon's email:

Hello,

If anyone is planning a trip to Guatemala and can carry a few toys with them, second hand is fine, we are in real need of toys for Christmas. Last year we gave out over 3,000 toys to children who otherwise would not have received a gift. Many of these carried down by families from this list. Unfortunately, there are not so many families coming these days so we have a real lack of toys. We do not have a lack of children who will be hoping to get a toy for Christmas! Stuffed animals are great, second hand is absolutely fine. If you can help please contact us. We can pick up from any hotel in Guatemala City and/or Antigua.

Many thanks,

Sharon
