Santa Barbara Natural History Museum Presents a FREE EVENT for #1 New Book Release: Celebrate with Video, Readings, Song
The new book “Hope Dancing: Finding purpose and a place to serve among the Maya” is the true story of a professional woman whose life was turned around after a trip to Guatemala to learn Spanish during that country’s brutal civil war. Becoming a “witness to terror,” she vowed to return and founded the help organization Local Hope, initially and still today known in Guatemala as "Xela AID" (SHAY-luh). In the process, she was kidnapped twice and had funds extorted by a sitting president among other challenges. The book has just been published in the United States and is the #1 New Release in its category on Amazon Kindle. Join us October 25th 4-6 PM at the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History to celebrate at this FREE event. The sale of each book funds life-saving medicines for 10 children. Come join the many Santa Barbara residents who volunteer with Local Hope, including three who serve on its Board of Directors.
