Fundraising in process
To fund this we have applied for a grant from the Board of Education. The answers for the application will come during the summer – at best, the final costs could be very low, at worst, we will do more fund raising to help families to pay the rest.
Here is an approximate count of costs to cover, per student for a 6 day stay in Quintin:
300€ (max) Flights Helsinki-Paris-Helsinki
150€ Roissy bus+ Train Paris – Quintin – Paris
Accomodation in families
Food at Jean XXIII, in families
100€ Tours in Brittany
40€ Travel insurance for exemple / week at Lähi-Tapiola, but prices vary. A child under 16 travelling without parents needs his own insurance.
