I’m sure most of you, at some time or another have seen the collection
box on the counter at the Village Store for Project H.A.N.D.S. and
possibly thrown in some change and maybe wondered what they do and
where your money really goes. We have been involved with them for just
over a year now and have discovered that every cent that is donated
goes directly to the projects in Guatemala.
In March of this year, my wife and I, along with the Heneaults , the
Claytons and the Wrays with daughter Iona had the privilege of joining
the founders, George and Barbara Maryniak in Guatemala on one of their
surgical trips which for the first time included a construction
component .

Project Hands Says Thank You to Lions Bay |

Once again we write to thank the people of Lions Bay for the support so
many of you have given Project HANDS. We are overwhelmed with your
generosity and would like to share with community some of what you have
done to enable us to continue our work in Guatemala.
At the Lions Bay Store, the Project HANDS tin sits on the counter and
fills with your change and generously donated staff tips. Two children
from the Lions Bay School show the tin to their grandmother and tell
her they are learning about the children in Guatemala at school. A few
weeks, later, at the School’s Christmas concert, HANDS trees made by
the children provide a colourful backdrop to the choir and after the
concert they are auctioned off and the proceeds donated to Project
HANDS.
