Dear Friends,
In 2009, we sponsored more than 1,100 eager students. These are children who would not have been able to go to school without your help. Unfortunately, most of these children will not go to school in 2010 without the assistance of your sponsorship.
Since school begins in January, just weeks away, we have very little time left to help.
We urgently need to know whether you will be continuing to sponsor your student for the 2010 school year.
If you are unable to re-sponsor, please let us know as soon as possible by e-mailing us at

so that we can try and seek another sponsor for that student.
If you have already confirmed your sponsorship for the coming year, thank you. Your student and their family will be very relieved and happy. For 2010 you can look forward to updates throughout the year.
If you, or a caring person you know, would like to sponsor a student, please go to our website at http://mayanfamilies.org/SponsoraStudent
P.O. Box 52
Claremont, N.C. 28610
If you prefer to make your donation with monthly payments on-line using our web site, please e-mail This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it for instructions on how to set it up. As students become available, they will be added to our web site. Please check back often.
Give the gift of school sponsorship this year! If you would like to honor a special someone with this gift, we will send them an e-mail or letter notifying them of the life changing gift you have given, and they can see it in our – In Honor Of– section on our website.
Christmas Tamale Food Baskets
There is still time to donate a Tamale Basket to your sponsored student or to a family in need. Just $35 US will feed a family of ten. The most recent report by UNICEF concludes that nearly half of Guatemala’s children are chronically malnourished—the third highest rate in the world, behind Yemen and Afghanistan.
Everyday people bring malnourished children to Mayan Families; the need for food is critical. If you can, please help a family to celebrate the holiday season with much needed food. If you would like to nominate a special family or a sponsored student to receive your basket please send us their name and a student number as a note in the donation.
- $100 will buy a month’s supply of food for an average family;
- $160 A bed and mattress;
- $15 Soccer ball;
- $15 Doll;
- $25 New pair of shoes;
- $20 Pants;
- $20 Blouse;
- $15 A book;
- $20 Backpack;
- $95 Traditional clothing;
- $5 A pair of plastic shoes
