Book now to reserve your spot on Rachel McGehee & Shelby Ashe’s bottle school trip December 10 – 16th, 2015
It was a year after finding out about Hug It Forward and their bottle school projects before I finally got around to going on a trip. I wish I had jumped on board sooner! But all things come to us at just the right time. When I booked my trip, I didn’t know anyone going on the trip, I didn’t have the funds and I didn’t have a steady job, but the decision to go has forever changed me. I can say with complete certainty that if open to it, these trips can bring into your life whatever it is you may be searching for. You go on a bottle school trip prepared to give back, and at the end of it all, you have received so much more than you ever thought possible. To be surrounded by the local community, working side by side with them on the school, and to be able to witness what true JOY is in the faces of the people of Guatemala….words just cannot describe it. So please consider joining us for this life changing journey. You will participate in the construction of a bottle school, tour Antigua, visit the historic Mayan ruins, and have an adventure unlike any other. Shelby, Anthony and I would love to have all of you with us. There is no experience necessary, you just have to say “YES!” and book it!

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.
