The Guatemalan Families Association (GFA) is a charity for families living in Britain who have adopted or are in the process of adopting children from Guatemala. Our primary goal is to support internationally adopted Guatemalan children to connect with their Guatemalan roots. We also support two Guatemalan NGO's. The history of violence against indigenous populations, natural disasters, poverty, and illiteracy can best be dealt with in partnership with Guatemalans. Behrhorst projects promote self-sufficiency, foster community development, and enhance the education and health of people working to make a better life for their children and communities. Pueblo a Pueblo projects respond to the devastating poverty and deprivation in targeted indigenous villages. Projects work to build the community’s ability to thrive on its own while achieving health, food security, and education for local families. Many GFA families have visited the villages where these two charities are working. They have seen the difference our contributions make. Together, we will make the struggle to survive and be productive a little easier. Charity No: 1105241 Find out more Website http://www.gfa-uk.org/drupal/

Belfast priest Kieran Creagh has been working in some of the poorest parts of south Africa for the past 15 years. In this time he has been working very closely with the poor and the sick in the townships around Pretoria. It was during his time in these townships that Kieran became more and more aware of the need for a facility in the township where people could go for proper care and attention during their illness, most of which were terminal. He also recognized the need for a place that could bring care and attention out to the community, where it was desperately needed. Also a place that could provide respite for the families and carers of the sick. Having worked in hospices back at home in Ireland, Kieran knew that this was what was desperately needed within the township. 6 years ago Kieran set about fulfilling his dream of building a hospice, and today that dream is a reality. A fully functioning 20 bed hospice in the township of Atteridgeville, Pretoria, named LERATONG (Where there is love). This has been achieved by raising funds back home, in Ireland. Also by staffing it locally with retired nurses and doctors working voluntarily. The ‘Friends of Leratong’ is a registered charity trust set up to raise funds on an ongoing basis for this much needed facility. We run various events through the year. Thank you for your support and for ongoing support. Yours sincerely, Paul Creagh Chairperson Friends of Leratong Trust.
