I find this impressive. I will donate education is important, but all I have is 468×60 banners right now. But you know what I don’t really care about the add space. Expect 30.00 via paypal end of the month if not sooner. Congradulations!!
Mine is sent. Sounds like a great opportunity.
Mine sent glad to help.
BradOn the front page the “People to People” link shows as white text on a white background. Anyone else seeing this? (Or maybe not seeing would be a better way of wording this!)
I’ve also sent a donation.
Hope she enjoys her travels.
Me too, just emailed her about it. Thanks!
Dear Everyone,
My name is Anthony. My dad, BingoT, has just shown me this specific post that I happen to be part of as well. I am currently a 10th grader that was already interviewed and accepted to participate as a member of the People to People Student Ambassador Program to Europe this summer of 2006. The objective of the program is to promise international understanding while building leadership skills among America’s youth. The 20-day experience includes interaction with other students my age, educational activities, home stays with host families and so much more!To let you understand this program, I shall discuss about the history background. President Dwight D. Eisenhower founded the organization in 1956. He believed that if people from different cultures could come together in peace and friendship, so eventually would countries. Since its founding, People to People has launched many international programs, including Sister Cities, Project HOPE and Pen Pals.
People to People Student Ambassadors are carefully interviewed and evaluated before their acceptance and I am honored to have been selected. Personally, I am looking forward to broadening my perspectives of the world and gaining a better understand of Europe. Within my school, I am currently taking Spanish and French, both with a passing grade of an A average. Also, I have been selected as Student of the Month for September in the Foreign Language Department of my school. I am very pleased to take these classes and especially having the greatest opportunity to use my knowledge of French that I have learned in France.
Upon my return, I plan to share my experience with everyone that I come across to in my life. As an Ambassador, I can also earn high school and college credit because of the many educational elements in my program.
The tuition is $5200, which includes all transportation, accommodations, meals and educational activities. I am very pleased to take this opportunity to tell you all that I hope you have an awesome summer of 2006, just as I will. Hope you all have an awesome day as well!
Sincerely yours,
Anthony T

My son was picked as well and We as good parents are Proud of him sending him. It’s a great opportunity for the kids to take part in a once in a life time adventure.
The funny part I have with this is how they get the kids and they say it’s from nominated by teachers lol I have to tell you my son has been getting the offers from 3rd grade .until now At that age how do teacher’s nominate lol but all in all we are sending him on this once in a lifetime adventure and it’s like how our kids get the credit app’s in the mail at 5 and with the high cost of $5200.00 x 40 to 45 kids from each State We are talking some great money for this program.The good thing is they weed out the so called dweebs and pick the one’s that want to learn more and they do get a school credits for this.
And we are so Proud of him we are sending him this year.Professor wrote:Donna I just sent a donation as well, this is from your friends at CAP. I didnt have a creative ready for CAP, can you make us one and place it on your daughters page please?Good Luck
