Hekab Be is in urgent need of donations to help us keep the library open through the end of the year. HB operates on a shoestring budget of ~$1500 US a month and runs all its programs with just 3 staff members! We are dedicated to supporting the career and educational growth of local Akumal residents, who have a unique opportunity to help others by working at HB.
Our goal is to raise $3000 to keep us open into January. A portion of these funds will also be used for the library’s annual Christmas party.
