€1000 donation from County Cork, Ireland towards construction of the permanent Hospitalito Atitlán.
You never know whom you might meet at a rock festival, and it surprised K’aslimaal board members to meet Father Padriag Kough at the 2008 Festival Atitlán fundraiser for construction of the new Hospitalito. He attended at the recommendation of a friend, when he told her he was looking for an organization to which he could deliver a donation entrusted to him by a friend from Ireland.
Board member Kathy Searle gave the group a tour of the temporary hospital, and the next day they returned with a check. The donation came from, Ms. Eileen Forrest Corbally, of Leamlara in Co. Cork.
