is it still too late to send the money….how much is the total amount that is needed again?
First time using The Point?
This campaign has a tipping point -- you pledge to take action, but only if 15 people people join.
This way, you know your participation will make a difference.

"Save the community owned language school in Xela, Guatemala." has closed announced 9 months ago
- OBJECTIVE
- Help Armando save a community owned language school in Xela, Guatemala.

If we reach exactly 15 people by August 23, 2008, then Help us find 15 people who are willing to give $20 (or more) each.

Just a little money will bring this language school to the tipping point. Once they have the infrastructure in place, Armando is a very capable (and friendly!) leader, and they will easily attract foreign students to the beautiful region through their partnership with the proyecto linguistico cooperative.
When we have reached our goal, I will send everyone a message with details for the Western Union account where we can send the money.
Thank You!

Hi Everyone who joined the campaign, and thank you so much for taking part. I waited to send this message until after the due date I set for the campaign in case some more people might join in the mean time, but it looks like it’s now time to talk about getting the money down to Armando.
Here are the details to send money to Armando with Western Union:
Armando Lopez Polco
Quetzaltenango
Guatemala
Western Union Number: 9I304
That’s 9, the letter I, three, zero, four. NOT!!! 91304
If you’re more comfortable mailing me a check you can do so, and I will send a bundle via Western Union (this might save some fees). I’m going to send the money today though, in a few hours, so it would be important for me to know very soon how much you are going to send me a check for. If I hear from you, I can spot you the money for now – I’ll wire money today and cash your check when I get it. I’d also need you to put that check in the mail in no more than a few days. My address is
1623 SW Spring Garden
Portland OR, 97219
Write check to Isaac Holeman
All told, 7 people pledged $20, that means $140 total. I’m able to give more than $20, and maybe some of you can as well. It still may be less than we had hoped for, but I’m sure Armando will be very grateful!
Thanks again everyone.
cheers
Isaac

Isaac Holeman replied on Sep 5, 2008Hi Claudia,
Total Armando needed 4,000 quetzales as of about 3 weeks ago, that’s something like $540. All together I think we got most of it, if the other people on the point did send in the money they had pledged. I’m sure the school could use a little more if you can spare some though. The problem is that Armando is pretty difficult to get in touch with, so if you sent in some money after the big bunch, I’m not sure when he would find out about it and pick it up. If you still interested, here is his contact info:
Armando Lopez Polco
Quetzaltenango
GuatemalaWestern Union Number: 9I304
That’s 9, the letter I, three, zero, four. NOT!!! 91304If you just send it online, it may just ask for his full name, city, and country (not the code).
Miss you! Hope you’re well.
cheers
Isaac
