Funding for: Program tuition & travel expenses

about my venture

  Hi, My name is Naomi and I am a Student Ambassador for People to People and am already an alumni! I am currently a sophomore in high school. When I first received a letter from People to People to go to Europe, I couldn't believe it. I was nominate by a teacher at school, had to be interviewed, and I had to struggle really hard to earn money. My parents were very supportive and I made it to France, Italy, and Greece. It was the most amazing thing I have ever done. I scaled down a castle wall ( OK repelled down a castle wall) and through it all have made a lot of new friendships with my 44 other delegates. I never realized that I had made it there until I walked off the plane and saw WELCOME TO FRANCE. I was so amazed and proud because I raised this money with the support of my community, friends, and family.

   But now I have this even more amazing chance to go to Australia! I will get to repel once again but this time we are adding a cliff and another 100ft! Marine biologist will take my delegation and I to the Great Barrier Reef where I will snorkel and learn all about it. I will meet with officials from the Australian government and see first hand how their government works first hand. Ever heard of the Sydney Opera House? I get backstage access! For a few other days I will being having a home stay with some Australian people. All this time I will have been learning and experience first hand and gaining school credit.

   So with such an amazing opportunity comes a very large price tag. I'm asking you to watch my video and to please help me get to have such great life changing moments. Donate any amount and trust me it will add up. If you want to see the next generation learning how to communicate and learn about other nations help me go to Australia!
