How to help

Below a list of supplies we can use. If we receive more than we need, we distribute the supplies among the rural schools in Copán.

Money!

Yes, money is probably what we need most. We try to run our organization as effectivly and economically as we can, but we can't do it without a certain infrastructure and that implies overhead costs.
Although we direct as much as possible directly to our projects, we also need money to pay the rent of our headquarters; salaries for our assistants; electricity; internet and maintenance.

Since february of 2008 we have a small store in our office where we sell our own handmade products, such as children's books and decorated notebooks. This helps us to be a bit more self-sustainable, but money will always be welcome!

If you decide to send us

last for months, rather than
buying the cheapest once
