Beginning this month we will be recognizing on a bimonthly basis- donors and Sponsors who have given so much of themselves and their time to help the Hekab Be Biblioteca de Akumal.
I planned to begin doing this early this year, but a lot of work and maybe some procrastination.... as they say "better late than never".
It is Sponsors like Terri Gerhardt (and her husband Dave) that keep this library alive and functioning!
Please read a profile about Terri below.
