Come February, a group of area teens will embark on an experience they’ll remember for a lifetime. First, though, they have a lot of work to do.

Through ­breakfasts, bounce houses, ­burgers, music and more, the ninth- and 10th-graders from Port Charlotte Adventist School hope to raise enough to fund their trip to Quetzaltenango, Guatemala. There, they will help build a church, help with health care, and pray and work with local children.
