I had donated money and school supplies to this charity at an event in the US and wanted to check it out first hand when I was visiting Guatemala. I went to the SANA school and was so impressed to see these school supplies IN THE HANDS OF THE CHILDREN and the person whom I had met in the US personally overseeing things in the health clinic. I saw the children wearing the prescription glasses that had been donated. There is no doubt that money donated goes straight to Guatemala's most needy.
I accompanied a Mother and her three children to the SANA Clinic in Santa Maria de Jesus Guatemala. The family was in great need of dental services but were unable to afford the standard cost of care. As soon as we entered the Clinic the Mother of three wonderful but very nervous daughters, turned to me with a big smile and remarked about how clean the Clinic was. Every single member of the staff was helpful, professional, friendly and kind. The family all received dental services that were administered professionally and at an affordable rate for this needy family. It was a pleasure to be able to assist this family in attaining services they so badly needed.
