The Cincinnati Friends Through Guatemalan Adoption (FTGA) group is participating in National Make A Difference Day for the fourth year in a row. The last 3 years we have done work projects that have either benefited the Cincinnati-area Latino population or the people of Guatemala. This year we are asking FTGA members and others touched by Guatemalan adoption to shop at a local Guatemalan business or at an online business that sells Fair Trade Guatemalan items during the week of October 22nd. What a great opportunity to make a difference while shopping! We have compiled a list of businesses from across the U.S. and online to choose from.

To see the list go to http://www.ftga.net and click on "Special Events." You'll see a summary of this year's Make A Difference Day project - in the first paragraph there is orange underlined text that reads "Click here" to see the list of businesses. After you've shopped, we are asking that everyone submit how much they spent - the link to the form is in the second paragraph of the description.
