Catching the Rain Project

 Good News!  We're almost there!

The total cost of the Catching the Rain Project is $2730.  This is a reduction from $3,000 because we were able to get some of the items at a discounted price.

 

$2,225 was donated through Welcome Hand.  The women of the La Libertad Community raised 50 quetzales each from 58 families, (Q.2,900) which equals $375.  That leaves only $130 needed to cover all the costs.

 

Here is picture of the women of the Board, with the money they raised, and the list of the 58 families that paid the 50 quetzales to participate.  The women in the white shirts, are from the Women's Office of the Municipality of Cahabon.  They helped facilitate this project.

We need $130 to complete this project.  If you would like to donate, go to welcomehand.org.  

 

Thanks to all of you that have donated to help this project become so successful!

 

We will send more pictures after the barrels and other items are delivered to the families on November 6th.   Doug and Kim Roylance will be here, and they will be climbing the mountain with the families as they take their barrels home - to Catch the Rain in the future.
