Sign up a friend:
Our “Sign up a friend” scheme allows us to give you £100 discount from the trip cost if you can recruit 2 friends to sign up on the trip with you. Just ask your friends to put your name in the field of the online booking form which asks where they heard about the trip. When we receive these sign ups we will contact you to confirm your discount! It is that simple!
Contact discoverrwanda@aegisstudents.org for more information.

Bursaries:
Derby University UK is offering to part-sponsor two of its students, contributing £500 each towards the trip cost so they can participate in Discover Rwanda 2010. That means the total trip cost for two Derby Students; including flights (from the UK return), accomodation, food, activities (including safari, Aegis Students International Conference) for three weeks, will be £1480 (discounted from £1980).
“The University of Derby is pleased to be supporting Aegis Students Educational and Volunteering Trips to Rwanda – Discover Rwanda. For the 2010 trips, we will be part sponsoring two of our students to participate and are confident that this will trigger a long term engagement from our students to be active on issues relating to genocide and genocide prevention. We would like to encourage students at Derby University to apply for the trip as we know it will be a life-changing journey for them. I would also like to personally encourage other universities around the world to support their students to take participate in Discover Rwanda too.”
