Book now to reserve your spot on Jeff Rashid’s bottle school trip: October 17 to 23rd, 2024 ***Booking Options Below***
As I prepare for my third trip volunteering at a Hug It Forward bottle school, please consider joining me and several members of our group from last year as we head back to Guatemala October 17-23, 2024! We will spend several days working side-by-side with members of a rural community, and also have a chance to explore the wonders of the local area.
I would love to share with you the wonderful and rewarding experience that comes with immersing yourself in such a unique and vibrant culture. And how satisfying it is to play a very small part in bringing education spaces to a community that is typically underserved. The local community very much appreciates the time and attention we share with them, and to me, the greatest reward is spending time with the children of the village. Their enthusiasm to work is only overshadowed by their charm, engagement, and desire to get to know us. And yes, often, they just want to play!
Hope to see you this October!
Jeff Rashid

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.
