Hello Everyone,
This is a trip that I never expected to make. It's a group
of 13 Arbonne-connected friends and when asked to join the group, I felt a
calling! I cannot believe that we are less than a month away from
going! My goal has been to raise 100% of the
trip expense, so as to not burden my own family with this "calling". And also
because I believe that the time and resources I commit to this endeavor will
bring to me and my family much more that we contribute!! Being able to do this
with the people I work with is truly a blessing!
Guatemala is a beautiful country and I'm excited about
what's planned when we get there! We will be spending our first day
there in the orphanage, hosting a party
with the kids including crafts for the kids, lunch, & a piñata’ . Then we
will be coming back the next day to pick the kids up and we get to take them to
the zoo and then go purchase all of them new shoes! This is a big deal, as many of these kids have never
had their own new pair of shoes!! We also get to spend a day and ½
working in some of the rural areas to install water filters, a few stoves, and
do some work in the communities. This is going to be such an amazing week and I
am so blessed to be experiencing this with my Arbonne
family!!
I know many have expressed
interest in donating towards our trip. We leave on June 4th and will be gone
until the 10th of June. We will be purchasing shoes for all of the
kids in the orphanage that little Mateo
grew up in (the child who inspired this
trip), as well as buying water filters, and a few stoves.
If you would be willing
to donate anything towards this I have the
ability to accept payments through paypal for this. Any amount you are able to contribute is meaningful
and appreciated.
You can go to: www.paypal.com, then click on send money, then you will need to enter
the amount you wish to donate, and then make sure you enter my email address
at: tsdubie@cox.net and go through the rest of the process. We want to purchase the shoes in Guatemala so
we can support their country's economy. We
will also be having a party for the kids at the orphanage as well as coming
another day to take them to the zoo and then shoe shopping!! If you can help in
anyway, it would be greatly appreciated!! The
money goes directly into an account that I am using specifically for the
Guatemala trip.
And of course, I'll accept ALL your prayers for a safe
trip and return home! Follow my journey by reading my Blog daily. I'm posting
daily devotions from now until we leave and will write about the trip so that
everyone can share the experience. So continue to follow the blog.
Thank you!! Blessings!!
With Gratitude,
Sondra
