Six local teens are raising money for Amigos de las America to help fund community service projects in Latin America that they will work on this summer. 

Andrea Adachi, Rachel Cermak, Johanna Garcia, Kata Martin, Kyeti Morgan, and Lukas Shadair will work on Amigos projects in rural Paraguay, Panama, Honduras and Nicaragua. 

They have organized the Amigos Garage Sale, part of the West Seattle Community Garage Sale.  All proceeds from the Amigos Garage Sale will go toward the summer service projects. In addition to garage sale items, organic Fair Trade coffee and chocolate will be available for purchase.   

Amigos de las Americas is a non-profit service organization that has fielded approximately 20,000 volunteers during the last 40 years working in more than a dozen Latin American countries on projects related to healthcare, water sanitation, the environment, youth education and community based initiatives.  Amigos values and encourages youth leadership, multicultural understanding, service, and the development of projects that address community priorities. 
 
 

The West Seattle Garage Sale is on May 9 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at 3010 37th Ave. S.W.
