Guatemalan Volcano Relief Mission
*
As you may know, eQuilter has supported many airlifts of disaster relief, medical and education supplies by Mission of Love, the largest user of the Denton Program. This week as I read about the volcano destruction in Guatemala, I wrote to MOL director Kathy Price and asked if she is planning a relief effort. Here's what she said:
I have 85,000 pounds, three C17 Denton Planes being prepared to fly into Guatemala June 22 ( 2 planes) and June 23 ( 1 Plane ) with humanitarian aid for the survivors of the volcano. I will be in Guatemala to meet the planes and go and distribute the aid.
Our Mission of Love team in Tecpan has already been to the site, delivering medical, food etc via the ambulance we just donated last month and the fire truck.
I intend to go and build recycled homes for those in need.
Two of my firemen friends who just last month took aid to these folks with Mission of Love supplies died and they have not found their bodies.
Monetary donations are needed via gofundme for the indigenous Maya Indians of Guatemala. With your donations we can deliver water, food, humanitarian aid to the poorest of the poor people in need via our Mission of Love.

***********
In addition to the monthly check we send to Mission of Love as part of our charity program, we have just donated an additional $2500 for this relief effort. Please consider visiting their gofundme page and contribute whatever you can - even a small amount helps.
Today Lea McComas was in our classroom, assembling bricks into her Wall Project which we hope will be displayed at a big show later this year. Sophie and I are making bricks too. We did a live Facebook video this afternoon, with Lea explaining the project. You can see that on the eQuilter Facebook page, or my personal Facebook page.
Lea is also teaching her Portrait classes here next month - if you'd like to learn more about fusible applique and threadpainting, sign up for one or more of these fantastic workshops!
