Will You Join Us for a Life-Changing Trip?
An Opportunity to Encounter, Engage, and Experience the HopeChest Model
in Action
Join us March 3-11 for a President's Vision Trip to Guatemala!
Join us to see, for yourself, the power and innovation of the HopeChest model in action amidst the beauty and culture of Guatemala!
This one-week, fully immersive, vision trip allows you to engage, encounter, and witness the transformational impact of the HopeChest model in action, up-close, and personal. Join HopeChest CEO and President for the experience of a lifetime.
You will be part of a small, personal group led by Ken Sparks, CEO and President of Children’s HopeChest. During this special time in Guatemala, you will get to interact with local staff on the ground, engage directly with the communities, and witness community development projects including the powerfully impactful chicken co-op project that recently opened a retail location. And this trip will allow you to uniquely meet and encourage students of the HopeChest Guatemala Leadership Academy and witness their official graduation ceremony.
