Book now to reserve your spot on John Harris’ bottle school trip: February 10-16, 2022 ***Booking options below***

Hi Everyone!

This will be my third year working with Hug It Forward and helping build Schools in Guatemala. Each time I visit Guatemala I fall more in love with the people, the experience, and the Vision and Mission of the Hug It Forward Organization. Their Vision is to build 10,000 Schools in their country. And I am totally committed to making that happen with the rest of my life.

My motivation initially for being involved in the Mission was to help assist the Children, Parents, Teachers, and Leaders in those rural communities furthering their education by providing sustainable classrooms. However, what I didn’t anticipate was that they in turn blessed me with their warmth, benevolence, acceptance, and loving kindness towards me and my friends. The great people of Guatemala have a sense of family and community that I have never seen before. And it’s genuine and authentic. This has led me to feel compelled to share this experience with others from the United States. That’s why I am leading a group of volunteers next year, February, 2022 to Guatemala.

Please take the time to come join us and immerse yourself in the culture, food, fun, and fulfillment of giving back to others in this wonderful country. I promise you that when you return home, you won’t be the same person.

Best regards,

– John N. Harris

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.
