Let's celebrate our successes.
"Happy New Year!!! ...one month late. We are resuming operations now that the political situation has
settled down in Honduras. Donations were significantly down in the forth quarter 2009 due in part to the world-wide recession.
I would like to thank our web hosting company for donating their services to our group last year. Also, many thanks to our developer who enabled on-line donations through www.saveutilaschildren.org.
Among last year's successes was Operation Clean Teeth and the Art for Children program. Many dentists heard our call and donated dental supplies which were shipped to Utila and distributed to children. One artist in the USA donated a pallet of casting resin to an artist here on Utila who offers free art lessons to children.
We have an ambitious goal for 2010. We are looking for cash contributions for our Feed the Children campaign. Since Utila is a tourist economy, many of the island's poorest children are left with little when tourism dwindles.
Our group has forged relationships with a couple restaurant owners to feed children at non-tourist prices. Each dollar that reaches Utila feeds one child two meals a day. Please consider our group when you schedule your charitable giving this year.
Thank you,
The Staff and Volunteers of The Utila Children Relief Foundation"

In other news...
Our goal of improving Utila's infrastructure took a giant leap forward this January when environmental engineer Frank
Wyche joined our board of govenors.
Frank has numerous years of experience in environmental protection
programs, waste water treatment, and desalination systems. His biography will follow shortly.
