Cameron-People to People Ambasador

Last Thurs at Lindsay's Birthday Dinner, Cameron told us that he has been chosen by his school to be in the People to People Ambasador Program. I pulled the following information off the web to try and explain this organization. "Student Ambassadors represent their school, community, state, and country while traveling abroad. They learn about other cultures, experience unique activities, and meet local citizens. Student Ambassadors come in all shapes and sizes, but they share many common traits: a curious and adventurous spirit, an open mind and heart, the desire to learn about other cultures and people, and the belief in President Eisenhower’s vision that each person can make a difference and help to achieve peace through understanding." He has been chosen to travel to Italy, France, Austria and Switzerland for 19 days next summer. Since Brooke has already done this 2 summers ago, she can give him some pointers. We are very proud that Cameron was chosen for this honor. So we give him a big hand. (CLAP, CLAP) Now let the fundraising begin.
