2013 is upon us, quicker I think than we all imagined, and not soon enough for the elderly generation of our kids in the school, as we resume our Old People's Program, regularly handing out basic foodstuffs to allow them to receive the basics to survive and provide vital education to their grandchildren that the elderly generation must not be forgotten.
This year, your very kind donations will be going towards packs of food, vital for the nutrition of the elderly. These packs, as ever, will include cooking oil, pastas, rice, sugar, salt, soups and medicinal plants. To cover each distibution costs around $3,000 so that over 200 elderly poeple receive what is required, hence your donations are of paramount importance.
We will also be investing in agricultural self-sustainable initiatives, the proceeds of which will benefit the the program with income to invest into the plan, as well as some of the products. Finally, we will also be running various charity challenges in Guatemala, so if you want to come down, see where your money is going, lend a hand and get involved in a charity challenge, please do email us on sarah@thephoenixprojects.org and have a look at the website on www.thephoenixprojects.org
Many thanks for making 2013 a special year, in the past, present and indeed future!
cheers
