TRAVEL WITH US
Each trip, we focus on a main project to help enrich the lives of the children at House of Hope. We host a variety of workshops, classes and clinics. Partner with locals in the community of Montrouis to find creative ways to encourage sustainability. You will visit schools, churches, street businesses and other villages in the area. We encourage bringing supplies and activities for the children and community on each trip. Medical supplies, educational supplies, clothing, shoes and toys are always welcome. With each trip we will collect specific items to bring relevant to the needs at the time.
In Person Travel has been paused!
