CREATED SELLERS STUDY TRIP,
THAILAND FEBRUARY 2010
From the delicate vibrancy of orchids to the lumberings of large elephants, Thailand provides the perfect backdrop to visit some of our trading partners and spend time with the artisans in their workshops and in their homes.
For many years the names and stories of Wantana, Mr Wongwiang, McKean and the Karen tribe have filled our catalogue pages. Previous trips to Thailand have enjoyed meeting these people for real, bringing much encouragement and making special memories of time spent together.
This can be your experience too. The next Study Trip is bound for Thailand in February 2010 (provisional dates 12th -26th).
The estimated cost will be £1800 including all flights, insurance, accommodation, travel, food, etc. A £500 bursary is available for one traveller by application – conditions apply.
All Created sellers and their helpers may apply. Preference will be given to those who have not previously been part of a Created study trip and to those who can use the experience to further enhance their Created selling activities.
To register your interest and find out more specific details email: sharon.johnston@tearfund.org
The final deadline for firm applications is now 18th September, so do not delay your decision too long!
