Book Fair to help Children in Guatemala.!

Daphne, a long time supporter of Mayan Families is doing a book drive to benefit the children of Guatemala. This can also benefit your own children or grandchildren.....please look at the books you can buy and by buying a gift for your children, this gift will give twice. Please help us bring books to the children in the Highlands of Guatemala.....please spread the word so others can help as well.
Here is Daphne's letter below:

I have created an Usborne Book Fair to benefit Mayan Families.

Please go to the link below, and click on "Mayan Families" under Active e-Fairs.
There is a Spanish book wish list, which I believe have the better content, and
quality, and value. However, if you see a Spanish book not on the Wish List,
you may choose it too. Once you get to the check-out, choose "Ship to
Organization – Mayan Families", and the shipping will be free. There is also no
sales tax.

If you would like to shop for your family, while benefiting this Book Fair, just
click on "Mayan Families" under Active e-Fairs and begin your shopping. You
will choose shipping to your home. There are many great books to choose from.
My suggestion is type "Combined Volume" in the search bar and see what gets
pulled up. Those books are more bang for your buck, because they have three or
more stories in one book… saving you up to 50%. Also, the new "Kid Kits" are
fun. They have a book and activity set in each kit.

The Book Fair will be open until July 28th. Then the books will make it to the
Boston mini-shipment the first week of August, and on their way to Guatemala.

Remember, $200-$499 in total sales receive an additional 25% in free books.
$500+ will be an additional 50% in free books. I will keep everyone updated on
our progress. Please pass the link along to those you think might be
interested.

Thank you for considering supporting this Book Fair. I have seen first hand (as
many of you have) the JOY of handing a book to a child in need, and the JOY of
the receiving school. It opens an entire new world to them.
UPDATE: Total sales as of 7/22, $166.54
