Announcing Hekeb Be’s Angels Program!

We are very pleased to announce the beginning of our Hekab Be "Library Angels” program. This program has been created to encourage folks to become monthly sponsors. The amount given each month is entirely up to the sponsor and can be automatically deducted from the sponsor’s account with the new Subscription button HERE via Paypal, You can sign up for a Paypal account if you do not have one already, it is very easy and is free. In addition for those who use Bill Pay through their bank you can send an automatic donation that way, just email us at hekabbelibrary@gmail.com for the correct setup information.

We are working hard to plan for the future of Hekab Be and this program is one of the steps we are taking to ensure that it will be in Akumal, for all of the children who want to attend for many years to come. Since the Hekab Be is 100% donation driven, it is our goal to create regular monthly income to supplement our fundraisers. The money donated will be used for the programs, supplies and teachers salaries which costs about 75% of the operating expenses.

Please visit our Library Blog Site to sign up and remember, the monthly donation amount is up to the sponsor. We are hoping to reach a goal of $800 per month with the Hekab Be Angels so that we can keep providing our programs to all the children who want to participate. For questions directly related to the Hekab Be Library Angels program, please send an email to hekabbelibrary@gmail.com. Thank you.

How to make a donation when the library is closed

** Our STRONG preference is to receive all donations during library hours (Mon-Sat 9-1; Mon-Fri 2-5) so that we may thank you appropriately and record the donation in our guest book **

If time runs out and all else fails...
Please do not leave donations outside the library. Materials left outside often disappear--we cannot assure its safety. Donations in kind may be left with Charlene (an American woman who uses a wheelchair) at the Super Chomak, the little grocery store in front of the arch at the entrance to Akumal Bay Beach.

If you have a monetary donation and we are closed, we ask that you consider mailing the donation directly to us (via Debra in WA, address (HERE) or Donate HERE using paypal.  Because Charlene is not always at the Super Chomak, we cannot assure donors that cash donations left there will be received by the library. If you decide to leave a cash donation at the Super Chomak, make sure to put it in a sealed envelope that says "Hekab Be" and give it directly to Charlene.
