Día de Graduación – Celebrating Graduation
November 1-5, 2023
Antigua, Guatemala
November 1-5, 2023
Antigua, Guatemala
Common Hope is excited to welcome sponsors and friends to Guatemala to celebrate the outstanding achievements of the graduating Class of 2023!
This trip is a special opportunity to experience the culture of Guatemala through food, drink, and activities, along with celebrating the graduates’ accomplishments. Graduation ceremonies will be hosted in both Antigua and in New Hope. Sponsors will have the opportunity for a personal visit with their graduate and their family.
High school graduation is a big deal in Guatemala. This accomplishment marks and opportunity to break the cycle of poverty for a student and their family as less than 20% of Guatemalans reach this milestone.
The Graduation Trip is open to sponsors of graduates, their guests, and those who would like to experience graduation in Guatemala.
