Justin Bieber ventured deep into the Guatemalan jungle
to help a group of poor villagers construct a badly needed
schoolhouse this weekend .
Tmz reports
After Justin performed in Guatemala City on Saturday, he
joined up with Pencils of Promise -- an organization
dedicated to building schools for communities in need. JB
was choppered into a remote area outside the city on
Sunday ... where a makeshift construction crew was
already busy putting up walls for the new school.
In a video posted on his blog, Bieber says the town was
overrun with poverty -- "I'm not talking about poor, I'm
talking about 10 people living in a little shack."Inspired,
Justin ditched his shirt and went to work -- grabbing a
wheelbarrow and helping to build a wall for the school. He
also took off his shoes and gave them to one of the local
children. Afterward, Bieber says it was, "one of the most
amazing powerful experiences of my life."Bieber says the
experience helped him grow as a person -- saying, "I feel
like they helped me as much as I helped them."
