On\u00a0<span class=\"aBn\"><span class=\"aQJ\">Friday, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>November 17<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>, the Guatemala Stove Project is hosting a fundraising dance featuring the talented local band, Under the Covers. This band will have you up on your feet and dancing all night.<\/p>\n<p>This annual fundraiser will feature a silent auction of unique items crafted by local artisans or donated by local businesses.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Guatemala Stove Project<\/em>, a volunteer-based organization is continuing its efforts to raise funds for the construction of masonry cook stoves for impoverished, rural Mayan families. Over 6,400 stoves have been built so far creating a lasting legacy for rural families in the western highlands of Guatemala. Consider that a single stove extends the lives of each family member in a household by 10 \u2013 15 years and reduces the amount of firewood needed by half which helps to preserve the country\u2019s precious forests.<\/p>\n<p>The Guatemala Stove Project also supports sustainable-development projects in over a dozen communities and issues micro-loans to indigenous women to start small businesses that will help lift them out of poverty. The Guatemala Stove Project recognizes the importance of education in creating opportunity and hope for the future. It provides scholarships to a number of students who would otherwise not have this opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ve heard about the GSP and maybe you have even made a donation in the past. Now is the time to show your support for the indigenous people in Guatemala. Bring your dancing shoes to the Perth Civitan Club for this fantastic licensed fundraising event!
