AIR - Alliance for International Reforestation (Guatemala)
Anne Hallum- Founding President
CCUMC Contact – Jan Somers, 386-690-6082
A number of persons from CCUMC have traveled to Guatemala with Anne to plant trees, build efficient stoves and visit schools where they work to teach sustainable living. AIR’s programs include training that teaches farmers how to get more food from their small fields without using dangerous chemicals, nutrition classes, reforestation from community tree nurseries, scholarships for rural teenagers, established microbusinesses from the tree nurseries after AIR’s training and much more.
SALUD Y PAZ (GUATEMALA)
Volunteers spend a week helping in the school and clinic. You can also support the clinic financially.
Sponsorships are available to aid children in attending school (tuition) and receiving 2 meals a day (nutrition).
APPORTIONMENTS
The main way we support the ministries of the church is through our apportioned funds, a method of giving that proportionally allocates the churchwide budget to conferences and local churches.
For United Methodists this method of giving has become a strong, generous tradition.
Together, through our connected congregations, we accomplish what no single church, district or annual conference ever could hope to do alone. In this way, each individual, each family, each congregation gives a fair share for the church's work. We combine our prayers, presence, gifts and service to make a significant difference in the lives of God's people.
