Book now to reserve your spot on Jeanette & Ethan Evans’ bottle school trip: June 24-30, 2013
One of my goals for 2012 was to help raise funds for Hug It Forward to go towards helping to build bottle schools in Guatemala. We got started with our local high school and communities and ended up raising $8,000 to give to this incredible organization. Through that whole process, I realized that I needed to go on a voluntourism trip to Guatemala to help be part of the building process and learn more about the Guatemalan people and their culture.
I was fortunate enough to take the trip with my son, Ethan and this trip turned out to be so much more than we expected. We fell in love with this amazingly beautiful country and it’s people. They are so grateful for the efforts of everyone who came on this trip and it really is such an incredible feeling to help build a space that will provide these children with a place to gather and learn for years to come.
Ethan and I are leading a trip June 24 – 30 and have a group of people started to come experience this adventure with us. If you would like to do something that will make a difference to many and change your life, please come with us!
