GUAMAP (Guatemala acupuncture and medical aid project) can't send "stuff" but is sponsoring sale of a children's book, The Pancake Tree, by GUAMAP co-founder Laurie Melrood and Jacky Turchik, and illustrated by Emma Huang -- all local, and published in Tucson as well (we remember that "international" begins right here). Turchik will be available to sign the books.
