I have just returned from Guatemala after a month of working with the staff and women-young and old. It was an inspiration that made clear the importance of your on-going support. It gives me added passion for our annual October pledge campaign to fund our projects for 2014-15 fiscal year. All of the accomplishments that I witnessed were possible because of your support.
The highlight was my visit to Chumanzana where the organic gardening project is going strong. Candelaria Sut, who is in charge of women's development, has been working with the women there for three years. It was easy to see the results of her work. All of the women are now growing vegetables in small plots in their patios or near their homes. I videotaped interviews with the women and will attach the video so that they can tell you about their project themselves and what it has added to their lives. They credit the Kateri Fund for the help they receive, but I keep reminding them that it is really your donations that make our work possible.
Click on the video link Chumanzana Women Talk and see what they have to say and then consider another donation so that we can continue the project for another year and expand it to another village!
