Review for Aurora Fossil Museum Foundation Inc, Aurora, NC, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

The Aurora Fossil Museum is everything a museum should aspire to be. The staff know fossils and all are willing to spend time with you talking about not only what's in the museum, but also any fossilized shark tooth or other fossil you happen to bring in wondering what it might be. The best part of the museum is the gravel pit outside, in which you can find your own fossils, hauled over in dirt from the local phosphate mine. The exhibits inside are great, but they are best once you've found your own in the pit and then take it inside to learn about it. Finally, this museum is free and you get to keep anything you find.

Review for Natün Guatemala (formerly Mayan Families), Laguna Beach, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I have been sponsoring a student through this charity since 2007. I love that every penny I send actually goes to my student, be it for school supplies, clothing, medicine or food. Over the past 5 years I have received photos several times a year and it has been fantastic to see how much healthier she appears and how much she has grown. This is my favorite charity and the most fiscally responsible charity I have ever encountered.

Review for Natün Guatemala (formerly Mayan Families), Laguna Beach, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Mayan Families is an exceptional charity. I have been sponsoring two Guatemalan girls for several years and have been able to watch them through pictures and letters grow healthy and learn. I prefer Mayan Families to any other charity because I am comfortable that 100% of the money I donate is going directly towards improving and advancing the lives of others.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

watching my sponsored students grow healthier and do better every year in school.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

figure out how to get them better infrastructure.
