and awareness in the small village of Santa
Ana. We also gave free bike repair and instruction.
Black

Outfitters bought and installed blackboards for

T-shirt
Fund Rasier
One half of the proceeds of the purchase of an
Old Town Outfitters T-shirt goes towards community
projects and development. We have recently donated
funds for medical attention needed by women of
a nearby community.
El
Buen Samaritano (EBS) donations
The proceeds from a few months of T-shirt sales
helped to buy school uniforms and daily lunches
for a local school that takes kids from the
streets and gives them the opportuntiy to go
to school.
El
Buen Samaritano (EBS) Bike Donation Program
About twice a month Old Town Outfitters lends
its bikes to the kids from the school for a
bike tour around the Antigua area. The kids
have the rare opportunity to take a scenic bike
tour around the valley and learn about the coutnryside
in which they live.
The
Stan Releif Fund
In the beginning of October 2005, Guatemala
and several other Central American countries
were hit by Hurricane Stan leading to the worst
natural disaster in over 30 years for Guatemala.
