Fundraiser for burn victims of restaurant Fe

Last Thursday morning the 17th of March a gas cylinder exploded in restaurant Fe in San Marcos La Laguna. Francisco, who is in charge of maintenance, was changing the propane gas cylinder when it exploded.

Surrounding neighbors helped the five restaurant workers that were injured, all of them burned in various degrees. Restaurant owner Paul Carroll wasn't there at the time it happened. The people injured have been brought to the hospital as soon as possible.

Paul his family was also involved in this tragic event, his stepdaughter called Rosario and sister in law Isabel. Isabel is still in bad condition and will need further care when she returns home. Two other woman that are injured are Ancelma & Vilma.

Ancelma & Vilma and Rosario have left the hospital and are now resting in their homes. Isabella and Francisco have more severe conditions and are still being treated. After being released from the hospital, all of them need follow up care to attend the needs of the healing of the wounds.

We kindly ask our community at the lake to help to get some funds together to help Paul and his family & workers. The hospital bill from Sololá is already 110.000 quetzales alone for the first treatment. More treatment is necessary afterwards as well, so anything you could give would be of great help!

Thank you all so much!

Five Little Puppies

The first time I came to the property that now holds the space for these puppies, it was because another three puppies where just been born, under very hard circumstances. I couldn't turn my back, I went into the property, and I put it them in a safe place. Now they are big, adopted and gave the space for the next round: 5 puppies who will be given in adoption. The goal is to make them get used to dog food, I can see the mama already tired of breastfeeding

Dead dog in front of my door

Could you imagine the frustration that comes with walking out off your front door and finding a dead dog, when the rest of the week you hustle to protect them? 

Well that happened to me and other people several years ago, when the local municipality killed hundreds of them, and pile them up in the main street, becoming the first dog holocaust of Lake Atitlan. I hope this time, history does not repeat again.

Collars Needed

The dogs are getting fed but now they need to be identified, because of control reassons. For that matter, collars will be needed in order to know which dogs are being fed on a daily basis and eventually take them to a more competente veterinarian for further evaluations.

Cachorro apadrinado

A través de nuestro programa de apadrinamiento, promoveremos el correcto cuidado y protección de los perros en el municipio de San Marcos la laguna. Esto con la intención de no albergar a los perros, sino más bien de concientizar a la población y encontrar una solución a la problemática desde la población.

Very Very New born Puppies

They are very very new born and I dont know if it would be wise to move them, but the place is very nasty. If someone has any advice of what is best to do please let me know. I am hoping the momy is looking for food and wondering if it would be a good idea to leave some dog food there for her and check on them later. They are by the pipes going to the lake next to the nature reserve in San Marcos.

Thank you, Whith your help they can find a house and food.

Los cachorros ya tienen casa

Gracias a tu apoyo, los cachorros ahora se encuentran bajo la protección de un techo, el cual estará protegiéndoles durante la temporada de lluvia.

Asegúrate de que estos cachorros sobrevivan 🐕🦮🐶🐶🐶

Bartolo, el guardián del castillo, rescató tres cachorros de morir; nacieron bajo la lluvia y en la calle, frente a la propiedad de la cual él es jardinero. Buscaron refugio y lo encontraron en su jardín. 
 

Momentáneamente viven en una caja de cartón, la que les sirve para mantenerse juntos y preservar el calor que necesitarán durante la noche. Pero la caja está húmeda y ya no aguanta más, por lo que la prioridad está en conseguirles un techo adecuado. Afortunadamente, la madre y el padre de los cachorros también están, y son ellos los que necesitan alimentarse diariamente.

Con tu aporte, los cachorros recibirán una casa apropiada para ellos, la madre y el padre recibirán comida diaria. 
 

Bartolo no se puede hacer cargo de los costos, tiene sus propios cachorros que alimentar.
