Last shipment we received many typewriters for the older students. This has been a wonderful help for them. Many sponsors paid for these typewriters and Shannon did a very long and hard trip to pick them up.

This group of children in Panajachel were so happy to receive the recent donations of supplies for their soccer team. Coach Robin volunteers to teach the children soccer in this very poor neighborhood. He hopes that this will foster a love of sport, good health and keep children out of gangs.

Robin is a young man who teaches soccer to the local youth. His idea is that children who are playing soccer will be healthier, happier and will not want to join in gangs. He teaches to both boys and girls. He recruits children from the poorest neighborhoods to be play on his teams. He encourages all children to join in.

We were very pleased to be able to help him with a donation of sports

equipment that had been sent through the Medrano shipments. Thank you to everyone who collected these donations from their various soccer teams and sent them to us. They are greatly valued here by Robin and his soccer teams!
