If you have any goods you might want to donate for the Lenten Market which is held after every Mass during Lent.We want to feature goods and items from Guatemala for the Market on Sunday March 26th 2006.  If you have any textiles or anything else from Guatemala that you want to donate to help, we would be very grateful. Other stuff such as unwanted gifts, china, jewellery, toiletries, plants, etc. would be useful too.

If you'd like to make a donation, you can get more information by contacting the Guatemala Solidarity Network - gsn_mail [at] yahoo.com.
