I am glad to inform you that Mr. Francisco Sagastume has been a great contributor to the Pediatric Foundation of Guatemala for the past eight years.

He has organized effectively with a lot of enthusiasm the activities for the surgeries that have been scheduled for the needy patients.

During 1996 twelve campaigns in the National Hospital of Antigua that were organized the Pediatric Foundation and supported by the hospital with assistance and direction of Francisco. In 1997 there were six campaigns organized. In March 2001 Francisco organized a campaign in Poptun, Peten.

We can greatly recommend Francisco as an honorable person, who is enthusiastic and cooperative innovator and respected person. All the staff of the Pediatric Foundation will support all of the health program that Francisco organizes. We thank you in advance for all the help he may receive from you.

It is nice and very emotional to see and get to know people like you that are dedicated to serve you fellow beings, giving them physical, emotional and spiritual support to many homes.

In this opportunity I want to thank you greatly for all the help from which we all have been benefited one way or another, such assistance consists of construction and partially equip a health clinic in the community of Esmeralda for return refugees of the war, for cleft lip, cleft pallet, prostate, gall bladder, circumcisions, surgeries that were performed at the hospital of Poptun.

Francisco helped consistently bringing wheelchairs, crutches, walkers, hearing aids, clothing, medicine and something very special to the children of the very impoverished areas, Christmas presents that year after year have enlightened faces of hundreds of those children. We are hoping that Francisco will continue giving this humanitarian help and I know God will reward him. Francisco must feel happy for that gift of generosity to help the needy this gift that was inherited from his father.

May our Heavenly Father bless him greatly. This gratitude goes to the medical staff that has always accompanied him as well as the other people with good hearts and humanitarian vision that collaborate with him. We hope that it becomes real that drinking water project to that particular community will be accomplished. As all topography work from our side has been done. As a representative of all these communities and on behalf of all of these communities that have valuable help we thank Francisco and hope that all the valuable help may continue coming through his efforts.

I as a mayor of Dolores I can testify of the help that has been received from Francisco Sagastume.

Through Mr. Francisco Sagastume we are asking for a donation of foot rests for wheel chairs due to the fact that the existing wheelchairs 60 % of them have foot rests broken. For that we will be highly grateful for the support that you are giving us.
