Sienna Project
Donation protected
Madeline and I are on a mission to celebrate the life of a little girl we loved and empower girls with the gift of education.
The Sienna Project builds schools in small indigenous mountain villages in the Highlands of Guatemala, where there may not be enough classrooms or no classrooms at all. The national government pays teachers’ salaries, but does not provide funds for school buildings. In many villages children never go to school for lack of classrooms.
THE SIENNA PROJECT IS A LIVING MEMORIAL
The Sienna Project is a living memorial to Sienna, the daughter of the Reverend Marlin and Anitra Lavanhar of All Souls in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Sienna died suddenly and unexpectedly three days after her third birthday in May 2006. Sienna’s grandfather, Martin, his wife, Caroline and Sienna’s Uncle Derek established the Sienna Project as a 501(c)3 NJ non profit corporation.
Funds will allow Maddy and I to travel with a wonderful team of people to build a school. We are so excited.
Ten years ago, I made the first major gift of my life to the Hucherson YMCA, one big enough for a brick. I honored Sienna and our church on that brick. Now we would like to build something in her memory.
Thanks for your help and this life changing experience.
