“Team Fauntleroy” will soon be off to Guatemala to install stoves and water filters in 110 impoverished homes in the Mayan village of Esperanza Blanca Flor. We have now exceeded our fundraising goals! Tremendous thanks for the generosity of friends and family of Fauntleroy Church, as well as generous contributions from twelve Rotary Clubs in Western Washington and Los Angeles. With these excess funds we’ll be able to fund additional needs for the village, including school desks, whiteboards, books for the school library, paint and a tin roof for the school, and various school repairs.

Seven members or friends of our church will join our team of sixteen people to depart on May 23rd. We’ll travel to the Hands for Peacemaking Mission House in Santa Cruz Barillas, receive training on stove assembly, and then work in the village for 5 days before returning to Seattle on June 2nd.

We’re grateful for those who have supported us in this journey – it truly takes a village!
