giving Day, 1989. Each member of the caravan paid his or her own way with area Lions, clubs and individuals purchasing the vehicles and supplies and giving money for gas to transport the vehicles. Two additional ambulances joined the caravan in St. Louis; they were purchased by the Missouri Lions and driven by Lions from that state. And, a 15th ambulance joined the caravan in Houston. Texas. It was a gift to the Guatemalans from the Lions of Sweden and was driven by two Lions from that country who had made the trip to Guatemala last year with the Indiana Lions. The caravan would not reach Guatemala City until the evening of Saturday. December 2. The 16 vehicles and their drivers would travel south and west from Indiana to Texas and then cross Mexico before reaching Guatemala. They were assisted along the way by Lions who wanted to do their part to help. One Missouri club served Thanksgiving supper. Others welcomed them with rolls and coffee or other snacks. An impromptu reception was held in Mexico when the Lions of Veracruz discovered the Lions of Indiana were in their city. Another group flew to Guatemala City on December 2. They were met at the airport by members of a Guatemalan Lions club and taken to meet those who had driven down. The Guatemalan Lions honored both groups at a I reception. The Hoosiers were told I there are 425 fire fighters in Guatemala. The commander (fire chief) said. "We have the knowledge. We have the desire. We lack the equipment. Thank you for your help. You are giving us a big hand.” Each year after arriving in Guatemala, the Lions begin the second part of the project. A project (hat always provides unique experience. In 1987 the Indiana Lions stayed in the homes of the Lions of Cuilapa enjoying a real people to people exchange. In 1988 they found themselves staying in a beautiful motel high in the rain Jnrest with 45 degree temperatures nd only a few sticks of wood for armth. This year they were in a tourist area (the season begins in January)

with their hotel located on the edge of beautiful Lake Atitlan. Each morning the workers had to catch a boat at 7:00 a.m. for an hour's ride across the blue waters of the lake. Arriving in Santiago Atitlan most walked 10 blocks up cobblestone streets to an old Catholic church where they eye clinic was set up. Those who could not make the walk were transported in an ambulance given to the Lions of the town in 1988. The mission at the church was to examine the eyes of the Indian people and to fit them with eyeglasses. In a country where the average yearly wage is SIOO and a pair of eyeglasses cost SIOO. not many can afford the luxury of being able to sec. Therefore, missions like the one the Lions conducted are welcomed. Most of the people of Santiago Atitlan live in stone or bamb<x> huts with thatched roofs along paths which shoot off in all directions from the town's main street. Many wear the native Indian costumes which have designated their village for many years. Mission leader International Director James Cameron of Urbana said Santiago Atitlan is a very p<x»r town, "probably the p<x>rest town we've worked in." He noted the new Lions club was formed in the town last year when they received an ambulance. "They have 36 members and wanted us to come." he continued. "The world is getting smaller. We in Indiana have so many things we don't appreciate.” Cameron said. “We have about everything we want as far as f<x>d and housing . . . and all kinds of extras that a lot of people in the world don't have. You go home with a different aspect on life.” the International director reflected. American RedCraM Ibgetha; we can change things.
