Christmas Quiz

Chiquimula

The Guatemalan Families Association (Reg Charity No. 1105241)supports two charities in rural Guatemala. Last year we raised nearly £12000 and that money is being used to fund safer and more fuel efficient stoves, a library, improved sanitation, and school lunches. The small-scale projects have made a huge impact on the communities. For example, the school lunch in a country where over half the children suffer from chronic malnutrition makes a huge difference. It is often their only substantial meal of the day and is a reason for parents to keep their children in school. A healthy daily meal has improved attendance dramatically, as well as health, well being and their capacity to learn.

This Christmas the GFA is running is a fun family fundraising quiz - 15 easy questions on a quiz sheet, minimum donation of £1, and the chance of winning one of two cash prizes (up to £100). Closing date is 1st February 2010. If you'd like to enter please email [EMAIL="quizsheet@googlemail.com"]quizsheet@googlemail.com[/EMAIL] for copy of the quiz.

Thanks!

For all of those who read my thread about an animal charity which was appealing for funds whilst it had 2 year's running costs in the bank, here is an example of a charity which does spend its money. Worth contributing to.
