Nepal-Uganda Extravaganza 2011
On 19th November 2011, we will take off on an incredible journey.
21 days; 2 continents; 4 projects; Children galore = Imagine the Possibilities!
On a trip to Forget Me Not projects, you will be submersed in culture; you'll be welcomed by the children and you'll have an experience like no other. It really is something special.
We are currently looking for people interested in undertaking the Nepal-Uganda Extravaganza from the 19th November to the 10th December. This trip is $8000 and covers flights, accomodation, most dinners, excursions and priceless memories that you will treasure forever. All you need is spending money (we suggest about $500 is ample) and travel insurance.
If you're time poor, consider just joining the Nepal or Uganda leg.
Nepal will run from 19th November to 29th November and is $4000 - again, all inclusive (just need spending money - we suggest $300 - and travel insurance).
Uganda will run from 30th November to 10th December and is $5000 - again, all inclusive (just need spending money - we suggest $300 - and travel insurance).
Interested? Contact us today as places are limited: enquiries@forgetmenot.org.au
How do I become a Trip participant?
When we travel to our projects, we need to be sure that we take the right kind of people who uphold the key values that Forget Me Not Children's Home stands for; love and support. As soon as a trip participant steps foot into Forget Me Not Children's Home you are then a part of children's lives.
The children will open their arms to you and love you unconditionally. You will spend time getting to know their personalities and by the end of the trip you will indeed be a very special part of their lives. Our process for ensuring that you are the right person is as follows.
1. A letter/email explaining why you wish to be part of a trip;
2. At least one of the following:
- Organise your own fundraiser that generates a minimum of $2000 towards the running costs of Forget Me Not Children's Home.
- Donate a minimum of $3000 towards Forget Me Not Children's Home.
- Have committed to a sponsorship option to Forget Me Not Children's Home on a regular monthly basis
- Play a key volunteer role in the four major Fundraisers that Forget Me Not Children's Home holds on an annual basis; Cocktail Party, Gala Ball, Kids Helping Kids Day, Tombola
Once you have been accepted as a trip participant you must then commit to attending at least one Forget Me Not Trip participant meeting prior to leaving.
