Project Report | Dec 29, 2017
Now selling honey in three locations!

By Monika Goforth | Guatemala Director

It's been an exciting year for the Bee Boys!

With your help, they opened up sales of honey in two health food stores and at a Montessori school! They have an ever growing following on Facebook of local residents who recieve honey delivered to their front door! The honey bees are producing more than ever - in great health since 2017 gave good rains and great flowers.

With the success of their cooperative, they reached further out to the community to share their abundance! In August, they matched your donations with their own honey-income to put on a free public concert in their village! The concert featured local artists from traditional flutes and drums to Tzutujil Alternative Rock and an internationally recognized Tzutujil Hiphop artist, TzutuKan.  It was a huge sucess, thanks to your support, the town enjoyed fantastic lights and sound like they've never heard before.

In return for your generosity they wrote a project report for transparent finance use. And since ATC loves transparency, I atttach the summary here!
