Help Kendall get to England

My name is Kendall Epps. I am a Junior at Westminster Christian Academy. This year my school is offering a once in a lifetime opportunity to travel to England, with Educational Tours for 10 days of “Literature in England”.

This fundraiser is to help me cover the expenses of the trip. I have never been outside of the country, and I feel that going with teachers and classmates who are willing educate me on other cultures is the best way to get the experience. It is a well-known fact that experience is the best teacher. I have started the process of obtaining my passport, which is a very exciting process which I’ve never experienced! I’m ecstatic about the opportunity, and know that I am going to learn so much during this trip!

To attend, I have to raise $3800 to cover most of the expenses of my trip. This includes round trip airfare and on tour transportation, hotels with private bathrooms, breakfast and dinner, a full time tour director, daily activities, tours and entrances to attractions.

Listed below is my itinerary for the 10 days I will be in England! I am excited to be in a different country to learn and explore a different culture. My departure date is May 9, 2024
