Book now to reserve your spot on Tony Caruana’s bottle school trip: August 30th – September 5th, 2018

I am really excited and honored to lead another Bottle School Trip to Guatemala! This will be my fifth trip, and each time my life has changed in drastic ways. If you’ve been on a trip, you know what I mean! I can’t tell you HOW your life is going to change, but I can tell you that it WILL change! I have seen each person come back greater. This is such an eye opening experience for people, that we come back better for it! Not only are we changing an entire country, one school at a time; but we are also changing the world, one volunteer at a time.

Many times, each volunteer bonds with a specific kid or two – which creates a special connection that you will cherish for the rest of your life. Pedro is one of my buddies! He’s from the village of El Chocolate, Guatemala! You’ll see him in some of my pictures. The group picture is from the first Bottle School Trip I went on and the picture of the building frame is the one we helped build in honor of our fallen brother Andrew.

Hug It Forward takes phenomenal care of us while we are down there. They keep us safe, provide clean drinking water everywhere we go, and some exceptional meals prepared by our personal chef! You don’t need to know Spanish – we will have translators. You don’t need to have construction experience – we’ll teach you what to do. And you don’t need to worry about anything – Hug It Forward has done hundreds of these trips… and exceedingly well!! Come join us 🙂

Warm Regards,

Tony Caruana

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.
