When did you go to ALA during the school year or ?
@michaeljolivier5 ай бұрын
ALA follows the international school calendar - starting in August and ending in June. They DO NOT follow the typical South African school calendar

Does a parent/guardian come with on the trip? How did you manage the flights and the trip by yourself if not?
@michaeljolivier5 ай бұрын
No, you travel on your own. But the Rise team helps each winner every step of the way and where possible they try to group flights with Rise winners in your area. For my year I didn't have to travel because the summit was in my city, but everyone else traveled on their own from their respective countries.
