GAFI donations at work at San Jorge School

As most of you know, GAFI sold Amor Sin Limites t-shirts through cafepress this summer. GAFI raised $1,500 from the sales of these t-shirts. With that money, we were able to pay for and have installed book shelves at the San Jorge School. Here is what was posted by Dwight and Sharon on the October 14, 2007 post on the Mayan Families Blog:

This week we were able to install bookshelves in 15 of the 17 classrooms in the San Jorge school. The other two classrooms are temporary classrooms and the shelving will be installed in January when school re-opens.






This was a donation from G.A.F.I. - a wonderful group of parents who have adopted their children from Guatemala and want to give something back to the country and to help the children here.

These classrooms had no shelving previously. The books and equipment had to be stacked on the floor. These shelves are going to be of great use to the teachers and pupils of the San Jorge School.

Thank you so much G.A.F.I.!
