The situation outside of the capital, Guatemala City, is very serious. The NE area of the country has been devastated by hurricane Mitch, the banana crop has been lost and 30% of the roads to that area are washed out. There have been reports of cholera cases in the city and they expect that once the water recedes the need for medical care will be overwhelming.

Any type of help would be appreciated... money, medical supplies, medication samples etc... The e-mail address for the Rotary Club is: (my classmates Carlos Salazar and Rafael Perez are coordinating the relief effort, feel free to write either in English or Spanish):
