So, the spanish teacher at my school is from Guatemala. Today in class we were talking about Christmas break and she said how much she wanted to spend X-mas there with her family. I thought, what if we raised the money for her to go? So everyone likes the idea but we want to know what to do. So do you have any ideas of really good ways to raise money (like ones that have worked well for you before or just ideas)?

Setup a contest that requires participants to buy tickets. Make it something that costs nothing except ticket stubs and time.
Give the winner a portion of the money raised, and give the rest to your teacher.
Make sure its something most people can do, and there is luck and skill required.
I did a similar thing in my office with a pinball tournament. Tickets were $5 and the prize was $50. We raised only $145, but only 18 people participated. If you have access to more people, and get help with selling tickets, you could raise a lot of money.

Forever Living Products are a home business looking for more people. Their recruitment site is www.efi-international.com
They are a $2 billion company backed by Dti and Office of fair trading and you can work at home doing it. Typically people get £1200 per month after 5 months with no investment required
I highly recommend them

you could make holiday cards or wrap presents for people, run errands, clean your house/ do chores, or organize some fundraisers like selling chocolate or somthin even though it may be a little late for that but w.e., bake sales, a party and charge for admittance or refreshments, caroling just in time for the holidays!, and you could also try to just get simple plain donations like everyone that is her student bring 2$ or 3$ that should help or you could do a raffle or an art auction using pieces students made

Organize a car wash in warm regions or shovel the sidewalks for people in snowy regions.
Good luck!

bake sale. neighborhood garage sale. you can also form a charity run or something like that. But I doubt you'd have enough time to get enough and get a ticket by xmas

We also had a garage sale.

You can sell crack, with the profits, you can all go to Guatemala.
