I don't usually post things like this, but, well, it's for people I know in a place I've lived, so:

A mudslide recently killed over 20 people from Nahuala and Ixtahuacan, Guatemala while they were rescuing people trapped on the Panamerican highway in a previous mudslide. As many of you know, I have worked in this area of the world for the last seven years. As a result I feel a strong commitment to do something to help these families. Unfortunately, it seems as though challenges like these keep adding up in this part of the world and I would like to ask for you help. Here is a link to the news story: http://www.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/americas/09/07/guatemala.landslide.deaths/index.html
I have created a paypal account to accept donations for the families affected by this tragedy. If you would like to help visit: http://edvalsonians.blogspot.com or you can contact me directly by responding to this email. Please feel free to forward this message.

Thank you,

John Edvalson

I know John personally, and I can guarantee you that the money- all of it- will go directly to the people affected. So, if you've got a few bucks to spare, consider sending it their way.
