Unbound Hosts Popular Bloggers On Trip To Guatemala
Kansas City, Kan. (PRWEB) October 07, 2015 -- A team of five bloggers from around the U.S. landed in Guatemala for the second annual Unbound blogger trip. They will experience the world through the eyes of the people in the Unbound sponsorship program.
The blogger trip began last year to bring awareness about sponsorship to a larger community. The team will meet families, learn about their lives and hear their stories in the hopes that it will reveal the complex nature of global poverty and how through individual partnership and personal attention Unbound offers a solution.

Each blogger will share their daily experiences on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram using the hashtag #BlogUnbound.
