Many great memories are shared and made within our teams, there are plenty of outings, laughter, tourist activities and shopping sprees yet the bulk of the trip will involve running 2-3 day training conferences, mentoring educators, visiting our projects and working with different leaders and communities to train and up skill them in issues relevant to them.

The purpose of the mission trip is to work alongside teachers and schools and empower them through practical training so they can deliver a higher quality of education to their students. We also work with different community groups, church groups and local leaders training and up-skilling them in what they do.

YES!! Whilst the bulk of what we do is train teachers, you DO NOT need to be a teacher to join our trips. We need people with the following expertise on every trip:

• Teachers (Early Childhood, Primary & Secondary)
• School Leaders/Principals
• Leadership & Management Trainers
• Administrators & IT Trainers
• Special Education Teachers/Trainers
• Health Specialists (optometrists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, nurses, counsellors, social workers, etc.)
• Tradesmen
• Photographers/Videographers
• People with a heart to serve

The length and what is involved in our mission trips vary from country to country and from year to year.

Our Rwanda trip is typically the longest, usually taking place for two weeks.

Our Cambodia and India trips however are shorter and usually last approximately 10 days.

A guide, a trip taking place to Rwanda is typically AUD$3,500 – $4,000 (including flights, accommodation, on-ground costs) plus fundraising costs.

A trip taking place to Cambodia or India is typically AUD$2,500 – $3,000 (including flights, accommodation, on-ground costs) plus fundraising costs.

Trip costs are not tax-deductible. However upon request, we do offer letter outlining trip dates and the purpose for which you are going. In Australia, this letter has been sufficient evidence for accountants and tax agents to claim trip costs as tax deductible, however we cannot guarantee this.
