Mayan Families Holiday Cards Now Available!

This Holiday season, consider giving the gift of a donation in the name of a friend or family member. Mayan Families has six holiday cards now available. There are six cards total: two are for general donations, and four are for specific donation types (tamale basket, bed, water filter, or stove donations). You can download the card as either a PDF or JPEG file. Just download the card you want, print a copy, write your name and the donation details, and give it to the person in whose name the donation was made.

Because the software for this website won't allow the cards to uploaded here, all six cards are being hosted at a blog site run by three Mayan Families volunteers: http://micromundo.org/2010/12/07/mayan-families-holiday-cards/.
