Picture this . . . walking into a guest suite at Cozumel Palace Resort seeing a king size bed completely covered with school supplies cheap airline tickets to hawaii and teaching materials cheap airline tickets to hawaii piled a foot high; an avalanche of 70+ backpacks in one corner; suitcases and bags stuffed with fabric, underwear, socks; tool bags full of new hand tools while Sweet volunteers continued cheap airline tickets to hawaii opening and sorting more bags of donations arriving every few minutes from their group s guests. Larry, April and I were speechless at the magnitude and quality cheap airline tickets to hawaii of the donations from the Sweeties , a group of 300+ women who combined vacation and community service here the first week of September.

7 Families and 16 daycare children by providing nutritious meals (via donations of food supplies). Friends of Cozumel, Sweeties, and NUAFA President Eloisa Buenfil met with Raquel, a single mother and her 12 day old baby, Cecilia. Together we provided food for the mother and special needs for the baby. It was a very emotional, meaningful time for everyone. cheap airline tickets to hawaii Raquel shared she sought out Eloisa s help and cried and prayed for two days after her baby was born because she didn t have adequate milk for the baby or resources to purchase formula. She returned to work when the baby was 10 days old because she knew she needed to provide for her child. The Sweeties were so moved by this young mother s story they collected a cash donation from their travel companions that night at supper and are providing financial support to assist Raquel in providing for her child.
Victoria and her five children were one of seven families in need identified to receive food supplies. They walked over 3 miles to receive food despenses (supplies). One of the children received a new pair of shoes brought by Sweet. The four school age children received backpacks as part of the Friends of Cozumel cheap airline tickets to hawaii School Supply Project last month. They will also benefit next summer from Sweet s school supply donations.

KUDOS to Sweeties . . . Their personal caring and donated resources are helping local families and organizations become self-sufficient. Ten volunteers visited NUAFA to learn about serving families in crises and interact with daycare children. They also toured the CAM School s life skills program for teens with disabilities.
