We have recently sent some School and College groups on Community challenges to Vietnam & Thailand, and they have been immensely successful. We thought it would be a great idea to open this opportunity up to our other schools or groups of all ages and backgrounds as it is a wonderful way to help these disadvantaged communities and see some of their country while you are there. Tours can be organised to suit your particular curriculum subject, eg history, food technology, geography, art, languages, or

Community Challenges involve short term project work in a disadvantaged community in places such as Vietnam, Cambodia or Laos. Involving 2-7 days working side-by-side with the locals building, renovating or doing some basic development work which will make a real difference. Our Community Challenge program is a series of powerful and inspiring team challenges that develop and motivate staff (or schools/ Clubs), while providing much needed assistance to the developing world and raise vital funds for these communities. The experience will immerse your group and each individual into a local culture and encourage teamwork, working alongside the local community.

Examples of Community Challenges:

- Building or renovating a classroom in a hill tribe region of Vietnam

- Upgrading Orphanage facilities (eg: building water tanks, vegetable gardens)

- Developing housing for Agent Orange effected communities

- Developing water sanitation in impoverished communities in Cambodia or Laos

What to do: Decide how long you would like to volunteer for, list your other areas of interest that you would like to see in Vietnam and/or Cambodia and we will do the rest.  Your community project will be fitted in around your educational touring, so you will get a chance to see these beautiful countries as well as giving worthwhile assistance to people in need. We already have a shortlist of communities in need of assistance and will tailor an itinerary for your group, and arrange all accommodation, meals and transfers over there and your International flights from Australia.

We at Educational Travel specialise in organising tours for student or sporting groups. However, as part of a large tour operator - Scenic Tours Pty Ltd - we can also tailor make an itinerary for your adult or teachers group within Australia or overseas tailored for your specific needs and your budget.

We have designed tours for teachers and principals attending conferences wishing to do a bit of sightseeing before or afterwards. We also organise group tours for various reasons, including skiing, sightseeing, research or workshops. 

Save money as group rates for hotels, attractions and coach or mini van hire are much cheaper if they are spread over a number of people.
