HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
You are responsible for paying the return airfare to the starting city of this exchange (Edmonton to Minas Gerais will cost between CA$1,300 to CA$1,800 - estimated, depending on departure dates). You are also responsible for paying the per-person budget amount (to be determined) - this covers all your expenses (meals, scheduled events, Rotary meetings, housing with Rotarians) while on the Exchange (with the exception of alcohol). In addition, it is customary to bring a small token of thanks to each hosting family. Outbound team members will also be asked to contribute an amount (e.g. 25.00) towards group gifts presented at each of the different cities. Previous budget amounts have ranged from CA$800 - CA$1,100. (The per-person costs for this exchange have yet to be determined - amounts are presented for information only and when a final amount is negotiated with District 4521, it will be communicated to applicants.)
