A fund raising campaign is about to kick off for the adventure of a lifetime for a group of local students.
Sacred Heart High School teachers are in the beginning stages of planning an EF Educational tour of China with stops at four cities across the country.
An Informational meeting was held in December that outlined the trip and all of its activities for students and parents. Response was overwhelming with over 45 students applying to take part in the adventure.
The ten-day tour begins in Beijing where students will visit Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, the Beijing Zoo and walk on the Great Wall of China. The tour will then visit Xi'an where students will follow in the footsteps of Marco Polo and visit the life-size Terra Cotta Warriors which were sculpted in 206 B.C. The Yangshuo tour will include a bamboo raft excursion along the Li River and the amazing sites of Shanghai will complete the tour.
Students will begin preparing and fundraising for this tour which will take place during the Easter break in 2013.
Tour Coordinator Perry Enns says, "The students are very excited to experience all of the Historical sites, the Chinese culture and of course to try all sorts of new food while on this once in a life time tour."
Stay tuned for more!
