Ecuador Trip Opportunity

Greetings!

Have you ever had the desire to visit Ecuador and the Galapagos?  At the start of Summer 2028, I will be leading a tour there for members, friends, and families of our community.  In the past, I have led trips to Costa Rica, Japan, and France & Italy (this summer). These tours are designed for students, but we often have family members join us too. This life-changing experience will help students build confidence, independence, and global perspective. 

Curious about our 2028 student trip? You’re invited to an upcoming virtual information meeting to discover what’s in store. RSVP today!

These tours are through a student travel organization called Education First.  Although I am a teacher here at Flagship, this is not a Valor sponsored event.

Please reach out to me at winstonnly@gmail.com with any questions!

Best,

Winston Ly
