$10,000 for Guatemala Bottle School Project

We just received an anonymous check to help continue building the local school addition out of recycled plastic bottles in Guatemala.  The first floor structure is currently being reinforced with cement, rebar, and lateral beams in preparation for the second story addition which is where the bottles come in! This donation will go a long way towards buying all the necessary construction materials. The great thing about the donation is that we've been talking about this project for so long, now Chaquijya will finally be able to see some action and progress towards this massive undertaking!

 

We beat our holiday campaign goal!
