Archive of Hurrican Dean information

Bacalar is recovering after Dean, stores and restaurants are open, roads are cleaned up, plants are growing new leaves, the lake is beautiful as ever but there are still families that need your help with basics like food, medicine, adequate housing - the Hurricane Dean Relief Fund still needs your support and donations so that aid can continue for those in need. Please send donations if you can...

So far we have received 24,810.50 dollars thanks to so many generous donations.
