  want to thank you again for your generous support in 2012, making it a
  great year for Mayan Families Student Sponsorship Program! In November
  we sent an update concerning our 2013 Sponsorship Program changes.  As
  you might recall, we are simplifying student sponsorships for 2013,  
streamlining the sponsorship fees so that it is the same price for every
  student from Preschool to High School at $30 a month ($360 a year). 
 We  also introduced the option to co-sponsor students at $15 a month 
($180 a  year) for those who want to sponsor a child, but cannot commit 
to a  full sponsorship. If you did not receive this newsletter, you can 
find  the information on our website by clicking here. There is also more information about sponsorship on our new Student Sponsorship FAQ Page. 
 We
  are sending you this message to remind you that we are now accepting  
payments for the 2013 school year for your sponsored students, and that  we would like a commitment from all sponsors
 who plan to continue their  sponsorships in 2013. To renew your 
sponsorship(s), all you need to do  is make a minimum payment of $30 for
 full sponsorship or $15 for  co-sponsorship, which you can do by 
clicking here. You can also pay via check sent to:
 
 Mayan Families
 P.O. Box 52
 Claremont, NC 28610
 
 While our initial deadline for this first payment was December 31st, we have extended the deadline to January 31st.
  We want to see as many students as possible continue studying in 2013.
  In Guatemala the school year begins in January so we are now in the  
process of distributing school supplies. Without sponsorship  
commitments, many of our students are in danger of not continuing their 
 studies in 2013
 
 If  you have not made a 
commitment for 2013 by making an initial payment of  $15 or $30, we 
encourage you to do so as soon as possible. If you have  any questions or concerns, please email our Education Program  Coordinators at education@mayanfamilies.org.
