#iamchangeXperience

A lot of our supporters have been asking when we’re going to have another trip to Flores, Sumba or Timor to rebuild a school. And then when we settled on a date, work assignments came in, spouse got sick, schedules would often conflict. We’re now keeping our dates open so you can have your experience, your #iamchangexperience. Here’s how it works. Step 1: Gather your team Find 8 people – or 6 if you’re going to Sumba – who are seeking an experience as you travel Nusa Tenggara Timur. We recommend spending 2 days rebuilding the school. A typical day on site starts at 9am until 2pm with breaks in between. There is a participation fee of IDR 1.000.000 per person to cover tools and materials you use.

Step 2: Register your team Now that you have a team, go ahead and register here, and we’ll match or find the dates most suitable to you. After your dates are confirmed, we will send you a packet with all the guidelines and what kind of construction work you will be doing. Step 3: Make your arrangements We will recommend hotels near the school area that you can book. To avoid delays or cancellations, please book your flights after your experience dates are confirmed (see registration step above). We will also recommend local transportation and destinations on the island. Step 4: Off you go! You will be met with our team in Sumba, Flores or Timor to start your #iamchangexperience.
