SailFest is On!

"A wonderful fleet of boats and enthusiastic participants have congregated for the Zihua SailFest, which started yesterday and runs through Sunday," writes SailFest organizer Pamela Bendall of the Port Hardy, B.C.-based Kristen 46 Precious Metal. "The sales desk is open, and our first school tour took place last week. It was, as always, a heartwarming event. The children and their families are so welcoming and thankful for the wonderful contribution past cruisers and donors have made to their lives.

Before and after — SailFest donations helped this school upgrade their classroom. The shack on the right is where kids used to learn. The building in the background is their new facility.
