We have a 40 foot insulated container (reefer unit). Our plan is to make a utility building that can be used for a school or community building. It has stainless steel interior and we will install windows and a door when it arrives. We are comming to Guatemala in early Feb to try and find a village that needs such a building and would work with us to make the site. If we can meet the village leaders, we would look at their needs and then fill the container with these things (shoes, cloths cooking items etc) the plan is to deliver the container(with some help to clear customs) in the spring of 2010. If anyone knows of a village that need all of this let us know. We are not looking for money as this project will be our contribution with the goal of doing this every year. We are from the Calgary Alberta Canada area. Thanks We have a small project planned for Guatemala. We have a 40 foot insulated container (reefer unit).

If anyone is interested in supporting our local chapter, here in Toledo, Ohio, Please contact me via email. We are looking for Silent Auction items, primarily,,function is set for 8/23/08 and I'm hoping to raise $10,000. It certainly is not an easy task soliciting local donations for in international cause!
