5.   Begin to plan any individual fundraising activities to pay for the trip.  Attend all HETO group fundraising events and invite family and friends to attend with you.

 

6.   Brainstorm ideas for the lesson plan you will share with your partner school’s teachers and others while on the trip.  List materials you will need to purchase/collect (plan for approximately 100 students for the week) to bring with you to make your lesson a success.  Plan to leave these materials with the schools so that they can continue to use your plan in the future.

 

7.   Continue to attend all HETO planning meetings and share your ideas and concerns.

 

8.   Investigate medical and travel insurance.  This is an individual decision and should be handled at least 6 weeks prior to travel.
