Guatemala Project: FHG has been providing funding and supplies for medical care and ongoing education for the native Mayan Indian people in Chichicastenango, El Quiche through the ASELSI ministry. This ministry, which originates from the Columbia, MO region has been running a Milk Program and Medical Clinic for over 5 years in the most impoverished area of Guatemala (81% of the population lives below the poverty level). The number of families that have received care (nutitional, pharmaceutical, eye care and physical therapy) through the Father’s Heart Clinic numbers in the thousands. Currently, they have 2700 families enrolled in the clinic, which is 1200 sq. ft. in size. The need for a new, larger medical facility is huge. The Foundation for the Higher Good’s efforts in this project is to raise funds that will allow this building to not only be built quickly, but to acquire the necessary medical equipment necessary to serve the hundreds of Mayans who so desperately need better health care.
