We have an exciting...

Sowing Opportunities' project manager Ricardo San José Roca delivers seedlings to one of the greenhouse participants

Greetings!

As you know, the greenhouses are being built and planting has begun.

In a little over two weeks, Fern will be traveling to Chajmaic, Guatemala to witness the progress and to meet and interact with the participants. She will be in the village on May 5.

We would like to gift the participants who are working so hard to create their greenhouses after having gone through so much hardship – in particular, two major hurricanes that resulted in flooding out their village as well as the human and economic losses due to the Covid pandemic.

We are asking 30 people to step up and donate $25 to provide a gift to each of the 30 families.

Fern will bring 30 envelopes containing GTQ 200 ($25) to each of the 30 families participating in the greenhouse project. Would you help us fill those 30 envelopes?

With the $25, they can buy things that they cannot grow, such as vegetable oil, sugar, salt, noodles, powdered milk, and Incaparina fortified protein mix for small children.

Among the 30 families, there are 79 children. Some families have as many as seven children, ranging in age from 17 to 1. Six of the wives are pregnant. Some family groups also have adult children with families of their own.

We will take photos of Fern hand delivering each of the $25 (Q. 200) donations to each of the 30 families and you will get the names of the family members you helped.

Please specify if you would like for us to put your name and theirs together on the Sowing Opportunities website, www.sowingops.org .
