A video of Justin’s trip to Solola to help Pencils of Promises build a school in Guatemala back on Oct 28.
Justin said of the trip:
“This experience changed my life forever. It isn’t about me, it’s about the kids, plain and simple. I’m sharing this story in hopes that the world will help me end the education crisis. I hope I can use my reach to change these kids’ lives in return.” – Justin Bieber
These are some new pictures from when Justin was in Solola, Guatemala helping raise a school for Pencils of Promises on October 27, 2013.
As part of his mission as an ambassador for Pencils of Promises, Justin flew into Solola Guatemala to take part in the building of a school that the charity had help build. And to say that this experience touched him is an understatement. It was life changing.
In his own hards, Justin tells us how it felt for him to see people who have nothing be so happy.
