It is easy to think "how can I make a difference as one person".....Well this is how! As an individual, I joined a team of 14 others to go to Guatemala. We each talked to our families and friends and network of contacts about our trip. We sent emails, posted messages on Facebook, hosted events to create awareness ....and this is what we've produced so far according to Valerie Edwards who had the idea to do this trip....
We were able
to raise enough money to have 24 pairs of custom made shoes made for the kids at
Hogar Luz De Maria, we have had toddler shoes donated for the little ones just
getting ready to walk, we have received about 10 jars of multi-vitamins, about
60 cans of baby formula, crafts for the kids on the 4 days we will be working
with kids at the orphanages, monies to take the kids at the orphanage to the zoo
as well as buy them lunch that day and a van rental to take them there, money to
go towards the pizza, ice cream, and juice we are buying for the kids at the
orphanage the day that we arrive, money to give our helpers in Guatemala that
helped us get everything ready to get there, & goodie bags for the nannies
and all of the kids!!!! As
you can see it takes TEAMWORK to make the DREAM WORK!!! And because of so many
Arbonne Angels we were able to do all of the above so far! It has been a financial commitment as well as a time commitment.
There will be 15 of
us going to Guatemala on June 4th-June 10th, please keep
all of us in your prayers! I am truly amazed at the generosity of the people connected to our team going to Guatemala.
And the amazing part is that we haven't even gone yet...which I know will be the greatest impact of all!!!
With Gratitude,
Sondra
