A Sponsor Trip is typically a group of Compassion sponsors, although we welcome participation from all interested guests. These trip participants will travel together on a pre-arranged Compassion planned trip lead by an experienced, Compassion certified trip leader to learn more intricately about Compassion’s program in the countries where we serve. These trips:
- Have an experiential education approach that brings sponsors deep into the cultural richness and diversity of the country.
- Blend varied experiences with deep programmatic interaction and relationally-minded service opportunities
- Include a child/sponsor fun day with which all trip participants come together with the children they sponsor at a central location in the country for an incredible day of interaction and child-enrichment activities
Included in the trip price: certified US Trip Leaders, round-trip international airfare (unless arranging your own airfare) between the US International Airport and the trip destination, lodging, meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner), travel within destination country, tips, sponsored children expenses for fun day (venue admission, accommodations, travel, meals), accompanying staff and translators during the trip, entrance fees, and administrative costs. Land Only trip price does not include international airfare, airport taxes and ground transportation costs
