April 2008:  Another Successful Delivery

Because of the support that so many of you have given this project, the lives of the people at the small Embera village of Llano Bonito continue to be positively affected.

The baskets that the Kitlers brought from the village in early 2007 were sold at a small silent auction in Calgary, and the funds raised have already been put to use.

In April 2008, once again with the logistical support of Guido Berguido and Advantage Tours (www.advantagepanama.com), another delivery of supplies was made to the village.

This time it was a lawn mower (to help keep the area around the huts and school clear of the tall grasses that can hide snakes), paint for the school, and brand new school uniforms.

If you can help in any way and would like to be a part of this ongoing project, please check out the Get Involved section of the web site or contact us.  We know that we cannot save the world but, with your help and generosity, we hope to continue to make a difference to the people and to conservation in that little corner of the world.
