Book now to reserve your spot on Bobbi and Danny’s bottle school trip: November 7th – November 13th, 2019

“Children are the living messages we send to a time we will not see.” John F. Kennedy

This is an opportunity for each of us to have a positive influence on those messages. Through the bottle school program the children of Guatemala are able to further their education and expand their potential to contribute to their own communities, to Guatemala, and ultimately to the larger global community. In addition the program encourages ecological awareness, promotes recycling and fosters community involvement.

On a personal level we have found these volunteer experiences to be a meaningful and rewarding way of “giving back”…meaningful in extending to others the benefits of education we too often take for granted, and rewarding in the genuine welcome and gratitude we have received from every community we have visited. This is truly a life changing experience…a “reset” to introspection and appreciation.

The on-site Hug It Forward staff assures a comfortable and safe environment. Construction activities vary and may include moderate manual labor but there is always something to do for anyone. Commercial accommodations are provided along with excellent regional cuisine (and “to die for” desserts) prepared by our own chef, Christy. Other perks include cultural interaction with the community and a guided tour of Mayan ruins…it’s just plain FUN. Each experience begins and ends in Antigua, Guatemala, a lovely World UNESCO Heritage Site.

We invite you to join us in transforming the dream of education into a reality for these amazing kids. For additional information or questions just contact us at dbmwest@aol.com.

Looking forward to sharing this unique experience with each of you.

– Bobbi and Danny West

Fundraising for bottle schools

You might also like to fundraise for Hug It Forward bottle schools. Fundraising for bottle schools is optional – it is not a requirement of participating in a bottle school trip.

If you choose to fundraise, we suggest a $250 fundraising goal, but some people choose to do more or less than this. It’s really up to you – how much you think your friends and families can give, how creative you can be, and how much time you’re prepared to put into it.

See more information about fundraising.
