For everyone that entered the quilt raffle- thank you from the bottom of my heart!
We raised $2060 and I was excited that Debby Dodds is in the Humble Quilts group won the Bible quilt! My sister in law really wanted that one....lol
Your generosity allows these children in Guatemala to have a brighter future!
Our program offers scholarships for kids to be in school and come to the after school program, where they receive a nutritional meal (sometimes 1 meal a day is all they get), tutoring, love, and support. It gives them a life goal to shoot for something better than working in the garbage dump of Xela.
The village sits in the mountains at 7600+ feet elevation. The volcano spews intermittently.
We make home visits and help with groceries when a family situation arises. This particular visit the little boy had broke his leg and the parent could no longer make the long journey to the dump to collect recyclables.
Regardless of the situation, my first mission trip was to Guatemala 14 years and my heart remains firmly planted there!
Last year I was able to bring warm clothing and some cute knitted hats! (check out that baby!) If you would like to help in someway, either donating jackets, warm clothing, beanie babies, or easy to pack toys, I'd love to partner with you! I will be going back late January. If you'd like to support me financially I'd love that too. Send me an email at humblequilts@gmail.com and let's chat!
The quilts below are winging their way to their new home! Thank you!!
Have a lovely weekend!
