Current Goal

The goal of this TB is to make it to Esperanza (Hope)which is a slum on the outskirts of Guatemala City.This worry doll was made by impoverished Guatemalan women who live there.

About This Item

1.5 inch guatemalan doll earring. Guatemalan women who live in these slums have worked together and have developed a community medical clinic, a dental clinic, a scholarship and tutoring program for their children, an infant growth monitoring program, a breast-feeding promotion, a daycare center, and a craft project that generates income for the individual women and for the community programs. Most importantly, they have maintained a spirit of hope, which many in similar circumstances lost long ago.

    Retrieve It from a Cache 8/16/2011 n8ergirls retrieved it from Blanchard II Minnesota   Visit Log

    Biked back out to this cache in order to retrieve the loose travel tag. I will try and find something Guatemalan to attach to it before sending it on its way again. :)

    This still seems to be just a long travel bug tag. Too bad I hadn't read the bug's story, I would have taken it and attached it to one of the items I brought home from Guatemala so that it had a mate to honor it's original partner. Maybe I'll bike back tomorrow and pick it up, now that I know more about it.

    This TB was just the tag, no doll. Maybe we will look around and see what we can put on it so it less likely to get lost. Found it in the cache "On the way out" GC31f44
