Greetings!


With your help, we are able to continue our mission to help the people create safe and sustainable communities, which offers hope and reminds the families of Eastern Alta Verapaz, Guatemala that they are not alone. 


This month, we are raising $13,000 to purchase land to build a safe community dwelling for training, shared space, and an emergency shelter.  


We are excited about this time-sensitive and game-changing partnership with Habitat for Humanity Guatemala to build the dwelling for shelter and learning.

The poverty and devastation can leave inhabitants of this small rural forgotten community vulnerable with few options that include gang violence and immigration. 


The villages of Chajmaic and Salaguna, Eastern Alta Verapaz, Guatemala often feel forgotten since they have no...


  • Governmental assistance
  • Nongovernmental organizations
  • Governmental data on the demographics or size of the villages
  • Tourism
  • Easy way to get there. The terrain is difficult and
  • No reliable cell service
  • No infrastructure throughout the region
  • Common language: almost all of the people speak only Q’eqchi’ and no Spanish


We aren't just building a shelter; we are building a hopeful future. 


Today, on my 65th birthday, I look toward our collective, global future, to continue our work together to establish a climate of world peace. Together we can purchase this plot of land for the people of Eastern Alta Verapaz, Guatemala, which will be a quantum leap forward. 


Your donation of $25, $250 or $650 will be game-changing for people in this region and forgotten communities everywhere. 


Such scarcity makes people lose hope. Your support helps build important infrastructure and gives hope. 

Many thanks,

Fern Remedi-Brown
