The organization Midwife International, located in near Lake Atitlán, Guatemala will provide this high quality training for local Mayan women to become midwives. It is a 3 year long training, where the women will receive a quality education to be able to go back to their local villages and work there.  The cost for one woman to attend one year of school amounts to $3,000. 

We would like to raise at least $3,000 in order for a woman to attend 1 year of school. 

Our fund-raising efforts will be continuing throughout the month of March (Women's History Month).
