I started the blog Heartquest Guatemala to help people.
To Pay It Forward in small ways, each and every day I am here and in other ways should I need to leave temporarily. I want too make life better for people in what ever way I can.
The blog Heartquest Guatemala does that effectively in many different ways. It helps me to help the people. It allows me to reach out to people all over world like you with my simple messages. It explains my purpose. It helps create homes for people. It shows people what living is like here in Guatemala for those seeking a special and affordable retirement paradise. It has given me such wonderful contacts through people that follow and communicate with me. Whether they do that directly through the blog or email me. I am constantly astounded on the number of people the blog reaches throughout the world. People sometimes just want to travel here and they are reserved about coming into a country they know little about. The blog has allowed me to reach these people giving them travel information and guidance so that their journey here is safe and comfortable for them.
The blog has allowed me to experience the goodness in people.
We all get days when things seem a little tough in life. Heartquest Guatemala keeps me inline realizing that there is always another way to accomplish and overcome challenges.
There is a young Guatemalan girl here that I repeatedly see on the streets and parques (parks). She is perhaps eight or nine years old. I have seen her and helped her in a single simple way now for almost three years. She sells colourful lollypops or suckers as they are sometimes called. She asks for one Queztal or about 12.5 cents in exchange for the candy. I always give her that Quetzal but in that simple way of giving her more than just a sale I never take the sucker. She can sell it again. Her smile is always captivating and she is a constant reminder of why I am here and doing what I do here.
I am not a rich person in monetary terms, but certainly rich with the people I know. Recently my pension was reduced by the Canadian Government presenting yes more difficult and challenging times for me. In the process I have been forced to reduce what I give to some people. The little girl with her bright smile and gleaming eyes and her bag full of candies I could never give anything less. She is my inspiration for Heartquest Guatemala.
What I am proposing is a 12.5 cent challlenge. No candy exchange but a chance to help where help is needed. I have only used this blog to reach out to people. I have never used it to search out funding. As crazy as it might seem, I want to build a small village. A small village on a tract of land that will house 50 families. A village of hope complete with a school, and a source of clean drinking water and a waste disposal system.
It it not a charity plan. I want to give people pride in a home they will live and yes work for. Each family will be trained in skills that they can use to support themselves. The home they live in will become theirs once they pay off its cost.
This is a simple 12.5 cent challenge.
A true Paying It Forward challege times a lot of people can make this all happen.
Please spread the word, please make it happen, and in a really simple way Pay It Forward.
