NB: students needing to fund their own fees, DO NOT let costs deter you! A trip booklet of 100 fundraising ideas will
give you plenty of ideas to consider. Some suggestions will result in $500 in one hour!!! Many students in the past have
raised every penny of their fees and gone on to raise over $1000 in donation money too. Do not be disheartened by the fee -
you will find support amongst friends, relatives and those in your community that will astound you! You are about to give up
holiday time in order to give of yourself in service to some of the poorest children on planet Earth - those who hear the stories of the needs and what YOU are about to do on your holiday time WILL respond, I assure you!
"Fundraising for this trip has
made me even more excited about it . It was amazing to see the generosity of people who gave donations. I have never seen people so honoured to help out with raising money."
