So what is fundrasing about?

Part of the training to become a Development Instructor is fundraising.

At the Ricmond Vale Academy, a part of the training is fundraising.

A fourteen months Africa program including food, accommodation, program, activities, excursions, travel to Africa and health insurance in Africa cost around 12.000 USD. The partcipants pay one part in tuition (apr 3500 USD) and one part through fundraising during the training (1500 USD). Further funds are raised to cover the costs through grants from our partner school IICD in USA, Humana People to People and the staff fundraises for the DI program through running the Academy's Nature and HIking Center.

Fundraising is excellent training for Africa, fundraising money and materials is done by Development Instructors at several projects in Africa. During the training at the Academy you can learn alot from the fundraising periods, for example to never give up.
