SEMANA SANTA / EASTER BASKETS.
Guatemalans celebrate Semana Santa ( Easter) eating fragrant sweet breads and drinking hot chocolate.
Malnutrition and hunger are huge problems for the indigenous Mayan communities.
The families that we work with do not have enough to eat nor can they afford the traditional foods that are eaten at this time of the year. Easter (Semana Santa) is a time of sharing in Guatemala -- Please consider giving a food basket to a hungry family to share in Semana Santa.
This basket will include*:
A chicken.
Carrots.
Squash.
Incaparina - a fortified cereal.
Oatmeal - to make the customary drink of "mosh."
Sugar.
Sweetbreads.
A block of chocolate to make cocoa.
(All in a large, re-usable plastic basket that has many uses in a Guatemalan household)
*Some food items may be substituted due to availability.
Your food basket donation may make the difference between hunger and a joyous celebration. Any donation you can send will help to relieve the crushing poverty that these children and families endure.
If you would like to give a basket of food to your sponsored student or a needy family, please send a donation of $35 to the Community Aid Project at Mayan Families,
either through our website, www.mayanfamilies.org/DonateOnline
or by check to:Mayan FamiliesP.O. Box 52Claremont, N.C. 28610
Please send your donations before March 28th for the Semana Santa baskets.
If you would like to nominate a sponsored student or a particular family to receive your basket, please send us their name AND number as a note with your payment, or you can email us instructions at info@mayanfamilies.org
If you would like to give this gift "In Honor Of" someone special, please send us an email at http://community.icontact.com/p/mayanfamilies/newsletters/mayanfamilies/posts/mayan-families-semana-santa-2010/link?linkurl=http%3A%2F%2Fus.mc397.mail.yahoo.com%2Fmc%2Fcompose%3Fto%3Ddwight%40mayanfamilies.org including the details, and we will put them on our IN HONOR OF web page.
