Our son has been invited to join in a great adventure with People to People Student ambassador program in June 2004.
He is the only child from our school district which is very exciting, because the only way to become a student ambassador is a teacher or guidence counslor had to nominate the student/students.

Hello Friends & fellow Bigfoot hunters,
My name is Andrew Jones, and I am a 10th grade student from Eastern Lebanon County High School in Myerstown, Pennsylvania. I was recently interviewed and accepted to participate as a member of the Pennsylvania People to People Student Ambassador Program to Australia and New Zealand this summer. This 22-day program of exchange consists of meetings with government officials, interaction with other students my own age, educational activities and home visits with host families. I am currently seeking financial sponsors to help me with my goal, and I would greatly appreciate your support.
In case you haven't heard about People to People, there website is www.studentambassadors.org . President Dwight D. Eisenhower founded People to People in 1956. He believed that if people from different cultures could come together in peace and friendship, so eventually would countries.
Student Ambassadors are carefully interviewed and evaluated before their acceptance. We are excited to share our experience with schools and civic clubs when we return. As a Student Ambassador with People to People, I can also earn academic credit through the program's many educational elements. Personally, I would like to become a Student Ambassador because I want to represent the United States overseas.
The tuition for the program is $4,895, which includes, meals, transportation, accommodations, and educational activities.
I am asking many friend's & family members to donate a reasonable amount to help me reach my goal. Is it possible for you to assist me by making a contribution? I plan to give a speech and share my journal, photographs, and experiences with all of my contributors upon my return.
My program tuition is due by May 1. Checks may be made payable to People to People Student Ambassadors Program and forwarded to me at 213 West Carpenter Avenue, Myerstown, Pennsylvania 17067. Your generous donation will enable me to share in this wonderful education experience.
Thank you in advance for your gracious consideration and support.
Sincerely yours,
Andrew Z. Jones.
