Hi Jim -

I'm not sure how I stumbled across your blog but I read it with interest as the mother of a daughter born in Guatemala, hoping to learn some history and knowledge of my daughters birth country. I applaud you for your efforts and continue to be amazed by the stark reality of undeveloped countries. As I read your blog I'm always thinking of ways I could help and one idea that has been festering that has finally prompted me to email is to possibly use the Guatemalan adoption community as a possible supporter for the Temux Mayan Artisans. I don't think it would take a whole lot, posting on some message boards and contacting the various Guatemalan adoption support groups. And with the holidays coming up it might provide people with a cultural alternative for gifts. Let me know your thoughts, I would certainly be willing to reach out to those I know.

Christine
