San Francisco, CA - San Francisco Nighthawk Gabrielle Bohlman, currently playing in the GGWSL would like your help. In February 2007, Gabrielle will be traveling to Northern Guatemala to participate in a program called Volunteer Petén. When she goes, she hopes to bring with her a number of donations for the local community members. They will be organizing a youth soccer team down there so soccer equipment is desperately needed (new or used)!

Books for the community library (these need to be in Spanish), DVD’s for the library, as well as the soon to be cultural center (BE SURE that Children's movies have a Spanish Language option).
Volunteer Petèn is a 501c3 non-for-profit organization established in San Andrès, Petèn whose mission is to aid development in Guatemala by training international volunteers to participate in, design, and implement sustainable projects. Their main projects focus on environmental education, general education, reforestation, forest management, medicinal plants, and working with the public library and public schools, but volunteers also have the freedom develop any project that best suits their abilities and goals.
