JUNE '08--FUNDRAISING EFFORTS

Our fundraising efforts began in earnest, and we had several garage sales that turned out well. In addition to that, we sold Guatemalan souvenirs at church and at the Roselle Market. These are some of the types of things we were selling.

In the above picture, several of us are looking at the musical instrument "tun", which is an ancient Mayan instrument that is similar to a drum. They are made of wood and are beautifully carved. We also had flutes that were carved with the Guatemalan national bird, the "quetzal".


This market in Guatemalan City had all kinds of fun stuff!

We did several other things for fundraising, but it's pretty difficult to find a niche, as so many people are trying to raise funds for their organizations too. God was with us though and proved his faithfulness!
