REMEMBERING JULIE--YouTube Video #12- Inspection Trip report--Part 2--ALTA VERAPAZ
A newsletter with details of her passing will be posted in a few hours, along with details of her funeral
About the YouTube video below, she said: "IT BROUGHT TEARS TO MY EYES!"
Watch the 14 minute long video seeing some actual video from the Alta Verapaz area of Guatemala, and an update on our project to provide school supplies to the 6,000 students in the 31 rural schools of Santa Cruz Verapaz. You will note that the Foundation did pretty darn good in January, but needs just a little more help to finish the project, and then be ready to move on to our other projects.
The video will fly you over Mexico City and Mexico's two highest volcanoes. Then on to Guatemala flying over beautiful Lake Atitlan that some world travelers have called "The most beautiful lake in the world." It then focuses on the Alta Verapaz region that in conquest times was known as the "High Land of Eternal War" because its Mayan Indians were never defeated by the sword--one of only three areas in the Hemisphere never defeated by force. Then came a spiritual conquest and the name was changed to the "High Land of Eternal Peace."

UPDATE on PROJECT TO HELP 6,000 RURAL STUDENTS
JUST A LITTLE MORE TO MEET OUR GOAL OF $5,000 FOR JANUARY
The YouTube Guatemalan Foundation Video #11 focused on our beginning-of-the-school-year project to provide SCHOOL SUPPLIES to our 250 students from the two Patzicia schools, and 5,500 rural students from the 31 rural schools in Santa Cruz Verapaz.
We are grateful to the nineteen (19) of you who helped more than usual bringing our donations in January to $3,529. The project was completed borrowing temporarily around $1,500 from another account. PLEASE HELP US JUST A LITTLE MORE TO LEVEL OUR ACCOUNTS, and have enough for the Emergency Aid and Educational projects for February.
One of our donors showed the the video to her family, and, in addition to her donation, her teenage daughter now is donating $20/month. Others forwarded our last email to friends, and three new donors were born. Those are just two examples of how you might be able to help a little more.
We appreciate your continued partnership. The above mentioned donor emailed us saying about Video #11,
"IT BROUGHT TEARS TO MY EYES!"
I'll insert it again below to remind us.
