crowdfunding(Hi folks! It's my first time posting to this community, so I hope I"m following protocol, and that this project is appropriate for the group.)
My family is helping to raise money for the Toj Chan School in rural Guatemala. People in our area who are from Toj Chan have already raised money for - and completed - two projects for their relatives/community still in Guatemala. They raised funds to build a road to their village and build a small school house. Now they're hoping to raise $1,000 to buy school supplies for students at the school (books, notebooks, writing utensils, etc.). With a school and the right supplies, children in Toj Chan can get some of the educational opportunities that many in this country take for granted.
If you like to garden (or know someone who does), they're raising funds through a thing called Flower Power fundraising. (Basically, if people buy fall bulbs 50% of the money goes directly to the school, and the bulbs are mailed straight to your home).
Any donations, large or small, will help! Also, any further shout-outs of this message would be great!
