Pueblo a Pueblo
In August of 2004 I met up with an organization, Pueblo a Pueblo. Pueblo a Pueblo is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to empower individuals, organizations and communities in Latin America. I have been hooked ever since.
We have several programs now including a Child/Education and Mother/Infant Sponsorship Program. A School Hot Lunch Program provides a hot meal to 500+ school children, many times the only mal they may have all day. We also support the Bomberos (Volunteer Ambulance and FireHouse) and several other projects.
New programming for 2010 include sustainable organic school gardens to supplement the hot lunch program and provide teaching opportunities for the children about organic farming and proper composting.
A successful campaign with Global Giving raised over $8500 to build a new library for the Panabaj school and start one in the ChukMuk school. Thank you for your support in this campaign!
