"30 Takes Thirty!!!" We have officially launched our campaign. From now until December 31st 30 Elephants along with several supporters will be campaigning to take 30 nominated kids, at no cost to their families, abroad! We will be fund-raising and holding events up until our finale presentation.
We will be updating our sponsors page weekly as we confirm each no sponsor and their contribution. Don't you want to be a part of something great! Browse our sponsors and then JOIN THEM!
We are still booking Mini trips until October 15th. This includes our Twilight trip to Forks, Washington. We have also added Cedar Point to our mini trips! These are weekend trips (2-4 days) so they can be booked during the school year. Destinations further away require a long weekend. Take a gander!
The culture classes serve the purpose of diminishing culture shock for the students and for everyone to get to know all the people they will be traveling with on the trips. IDs, itineraries, and any other information are also distributed throughout the culture class duration. During the two to three months that the classes are going on the kids learn a bit of the country's language and customs. We even take the time out and learn how to make one of the country's main food dishes. For example, the trip to Hawaii the students make Haupia (A traditional Hawaiian coconut flavored dessert that is best described as a "stiff pudding"). All materials for the class are provided for the students and are included in the cost of the trip.
