Ceylan, Guatemala

By on January 21, 2016

Rotary Indianapolis granted The Village Cooperative a grant to be used in our food distribution program to the elderly and malnourished in the rural village of Ceylan, Guatemala. This is a project we have a hard time getting funding for, so this means a great deal to us and to the community. Each month we provide over 50 participants with nutritious, long lasting food supplies to help improve their standard of living. Many of our participants have been abandoned by their families and have no other means to eat. The rice, sugar, tea, pastas, beans, etc we provide is truly life saving. We truly appreciate Rotary’s support of this program.
