[News Boquete] Collecting cash and school supplies for the elementary children of Los Naranjos in a joint effort with La Junta Comunal de Los Naranjos

I want to thank those who have reached out and contributed. The Representative of La Junta Comunal has gone to pick up a few donations by some of our members which will help a great deal when buying uniforms and school supplies next week.

Much is still needed. PLEASE HELP. Any amount will help $1, $5, $10 anything, even change. Eduardo El Mello is the Representative of the Junta Comunal de Los Naranjos and helping me with the leg work. His number is 6208 7235 or email Marguerite Heffner at panamagirl52@gmail.com  and she will happily coordinate with you so the donation reaches them. If you wish to make a direct donation, please do so at Banco Nacional checking account of Junta Comunal de Los Naranjos account #010000148582

I am also sending $500 in US checks to La Junta Comunal, and I am working with a local Miami church that is helping me raise funds as well. Please help us out. Your donation will help keep these kids in school with proper shoes and uniforms and the necessary supplies.

My goal is to aid the Junta Comunal in providing after school programs, hot breakfasts and help with supplies and uniforms for the 150 extreme poverty families of the district who are attending the elementary school in Los Naranjos. Feel free to contact him directly, or stop by La Junta Comunal with your donations of cash or supplies (pens, pencils, crayons, backpacks, notebooks, chalk, snacks, breakfast bars, powdered milk). Every bit counts.

Thanks so much
