Operation Outback


Funding for: Tuition/Travel expenses

about my venture

I have recently been accepted as a Student Ambassador for Las Vegas by People to People, an organization founded by President Eisenhower to "break down cultural barriers."

I will be traveling to Australia for 20 days during the summer of 2012 with a group of fellow Las Vegas students. On this trip I will: stay with a host family for two days, visit the Sydney Opera House (and even go behind stage), and learn about the Aboriginal culture and Australian government.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and I am fundraising all of the costs. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
