Dos Amigos from Santa Cruz la Laguna

Welcome

Hello! My name is Betsy Sinsapaugh. I am a professional story~teller and story~teacher, located in
the Mid-Hudson Valley Region of New York.

While I wear many different "professional hats," this blog is celebration of the first Guatemalan Action Project, which is taking place at the John G. Borden Middle School, located in Wallkill, New York.

For the next 10 weeks, I will be working with approximately 15 seventh grade students to develop, market and implement student-led projects to raise funds for an amazing organization working with children, families and community leaders in Santa Cruz la Laguna, Guatemala.

Amigos de Santa Cruz has a number of extremely important initiatives which serve the Mayan community of Santa Cruz la Laguna. The community is comprised of three villages and three smaller villages located in the surrounding mountains.

Thank you, Don! I look forward to working with your students and faculty again this fall!
