Book now to reserve your spot on Monica Castorela’s bottle school trip: March 9-15, 2014

¡Bienvenido!

As a little girl growing up in a Latin Country, I could never understand why some kids were able to attend school and others couldn’t. That memory made me fall in love immediately with Hug it Forward. As I learned more about their bottle school trips, I immediately wanted to express my gratitude to the organization and then I learned I could also be an instrumental part of making their dream of knowledge a reality by leading one of their trips and spreading the word about their service trips to Guatemala. As a world traveler and former educator, I have seen several community service projects but what I love the most about Hug It Forward is that it actively involves the community by empowering and educating its members, and most of all it teaches us that by working together we can all help each other achieve our dreams. Help us spread the love by joining our first trip of what we hope to be a yearly trip to share, to learn and to bless the world.

Sincerely,
Monica Castorela
