Bring on the Toys & Supplies if you are coming to Guatemala!

   

The items we are looking for are just the same as kids anywhere would love with a few exceptions. Battery operated toys are not requested (batteries are expensive and are unlikely to be replaced )The kids we are aiming to help may not have electricity and may not even know what a PlayStation is, so toys that depend on electricity are also not required. Simple toys such as, but not limited to, hair ribbons, coloring books, crayons, stuffed animals, balls, bats, spinning tops, sports balls (football, basketball, soccer) for older boys. Even maybe some of the models (car and airplane models) that the boys glue together and paint, nail polish, make-up kits, perfume, a diary, a small pocketbook, crafty things, inexpensive jewelry (Dollar store type), hair ribbons, things like that.

School supplies, such as; backpacks, backpacks, and more backpacks, calculators, markers, English/Spanish dictionaries, binders, notepads, lunchboxes, pens, pencils, erasers, rulers, & anything else that would be appropriate for school aged children would be great! I am sure you get the idea.

We DO ask that it is NEW, no second hand items please. We also ask that the toys be unwrapped so they can be

sorted and given to a suitable child.

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR NAME GOES IN EVERY

PACKAGE SO THAT WE CAN THANK YOU ON OUR LIST OF SUPPORTERS!

Financial Donation via Paypal

If you are not visiting Guatemala soon you can still help by making a donation via Paypal. Please note, you do not need to have a Paypal acount, any credit or debit card will be OK. Any amount is fine, whether it be $5, $10 or $100. This money will be pooled together and the organizers will buy items on your behalf.

All donations will be personally delivered and all financial donations will be spent by the organizers on the purchase of gifts for the children. There will be no cash passed on to ensure that the aims of the project are met. All funds may be periodically audited by an independent 3rd party.
