Fundraising Activities

This year, as part of our effort to raise funds for development projects in the schools we work in, we are selling a line of Guatemalan products through the PSU Bookstore.

All of these items come from organizations we support while we are in Guatemala, from former students or from the communities we work in. This year we are selling:

  • 1lb. bags of Guatemalan Coffee in handwoven bags- The coffee is Arabica, shade grown and organic.
  • Bilingual Cookbooks- This Spanish/English cookbook features recipes from one of Guatemala's most famous restaraunts and are printed by the members of Transciciones, a Disabilities Association located in Antigua.
  • Cards- These hand drawn cards are also produced by Transciciones.
  • Color Photographs- These photos are the work of Kendra Rivers, a student from the 2003 group. They show the beauty of the children we work with and the places we visit. These photos are 8.5" by 11" and suitable for framing
  • Coin Purses- These purses are made by the weavers of Secun, one of the communities we work in.
  • Graduation Sashes- Each one of these sashes is one of a kind and is also produced by the weavers of Secun.

* All proceeds from the sale of these items go to fund development projects in the schools we work in...or...for scholarships for program pariticipants*
