In response to the Volcano, Guatemalans across the Carolinas are providing assistance to support there friends and family back home. Specifically, collection sites are sprouting up to collect donated goods and get them to Guatemala ASAP. You can help by donating here, or donating collected goods at one of the collection sites. Volunteers are also needed at the collection sites themselves.
