On board our sailboat Gratitude, we leave Canada to go and live new experiences. Lovers of water sports, we want to help the communities along our journey. Among the organizations and programs envisaged, Waves for Water appealed to us. We believe we can make the difference between a few families and communities by providing them with help by filling a primary need: water. We will stop for several months in Guatemala and go to the land to give a little help to those who need it in order to give back and express our Gratitude and the luck that we have.

A Sailing Family to Guatemala

Clean Water from Mexico to Panama... we're a sailing family leaving (August 2022) our mountain tribe in the Eastern Sierra of California, embarking on a journey of Sailing.Surfing.Healing. to explore the (as some sailors have called it) "Forgotten Coast" of Central America. As we sail southbound, immersing in culture, medicine (Acupuncturist Without Borders right here), and family, we vow to be couriers to supply villages we come across who are in desperate need of one of life’s most fundamental resource … CLEAN WATER!!! We have started with 10 units to take, but we’ll take however many our 36’ Catalina “Grace” has room for. Bring it!! 

FRESH WATER FOR THE PEOPLE!!!  

Nothing but AWESOMENESS HERE...  
Love and Light Friends Old and New...

Hello all! We will be traveling to Guatemala in November and want to provide some clean water for the locales. We are hoping to bring at least 10 filtration systems to numerous villages.  Any excess funds will be used to buy other suppliers, reading materials and school supplies.

7 years ago I had the distinct privilege to visit Guatemala for a few months and this experience truly opened my eyes to our everyday privileges such as the basics: clean drinking water. Access to drinking water is not as easy in the remote areas of Guatemala nor even the city (THIS IS COMMON FOR MOST OF THE WORLD). During this 7-year hiatus I've continually researched multiple organizations whether local and/or international organizations and yet I continually fall back to the Waves For Water organization. I intend in 2021 to make a trip to Guatemala City and Antigua to distribute the w4w filters to local organizations. However, as an added motivation for every gutter system installed by Aloha Gutters LLC from July on till January 202 they'll also be donating a filter. Honestly, my goal is to provide filters to as many locales as possible and learn of more way's to assist the locales during this trip. All donations are welcome and I'm beyond thankful for any support!

We are a small grassroots nonprofit based out of LA, known as the Natural Leaders Foundation,  and are now planting seeds with communities throughout Central & South America. 

We were welcomed into the Garifuna village of Viejo San Juan last year during travels for a independent docuseries we are developing. After a few days full of connecting with the children and community we knew without a doubt we had to come back. 

We are now headed back and will be rehabbing the communities local basketball/soccer court thank to Project Backboard and a small permaculture group based out of LA area as well, The Permaculture Revolution. Our goal is to Beautify their communal spaces and work with the local community to see that these areas exude life, creativity, connection and potential. 

This is the heart behind the Beautify our Lives initiative which all started back in 2010 in the inner city schools of Los Angeles. We go to ask the children and families what their needs are and create bridges to meet those needs. 

This small rural community off the Caribbean coast of northern Honduras is in need of many things from clean, sustainably sourced water to access to electricity- and much more in between. We see that water and power are the main foundations for this village for our first year building alongside their local community leaders, so we are reaching out for support.

We have just solidified a partnership with the Akon Lighting Africa project to support us in bringing in solar power and now looking for some aid with the water piece by incorporating W4W filters that will be accessible in the communal areas like school grounds & recreational parks.

 Thank you for joining the wave towards a better tomorrow through collective action!
