OUR VERY SPECIAL DONORS AND PROJECT SPONSORS; WE ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE

We are making a difference with our holistic approach. Our students and all children in this impoverished area need books, computers, clean water & access to better medical & dental care. Our team is made up of many volunteers and supporters in the US & Guatemala. They are:

SPIRIT EDUCATION FOUNDATION; Spirit started working in the area 6 years ago, offering high school & University scholarships to impoverished young women. We quickly realized the problem was more than money for education fees.

COATEPEQUE- COLOMBA ROTARIANS; contributors & coordinators of our Guatemalan programs.

DIST. 5510,
SCOTTSDALE SUNRISE ROTARIANS & PROJECT CURE
; for $1,200,000 + in medical and dental equipment & supplies for hospitals serving over 1/2 million and our clinic.

Rotary Club of Fountain Hills
offered support this year and was great help in packing up supplies and computer on Sept 1. They are continuing with the program for 2008 Woodstock Rotarians have been sponsoring the educational program for the last 2 years, but recently joined the dental project, believing it is of prime importance for 2006-7.

Rob Harrigan, Greg Joseph, Bart Thompson, Ron Russo, and our newest contributor David Pearman, Phoenix area dentists and Project Cure, so we now have enough dental operatories for five dentists and four hygienists. Thanks to Rob, one of the operatories is a mobile dry unit so we can go to the villages for triage.

THE INTERNATIONAL COLLEGE OF DENTISTS - USA SECTION FOUNDATION: has awarded Spirit Education Foundation a grant of $2700 so we can buy necessary instruments not already donated. Thanks to their generosity our volunteers will have what they need.
