Sabrina’s People To People Educational Adventure

Sabrina has been chosen and asked to be a US Ambassador for a fantastic educational experience with People To People (a program started by Dwight D. Eisenhower for the promotion of world peace). 

As a single parent barely making ends meet, I humbly ask those of you who can, to help me make this once-in-a-lifetime educational experience happen for my daughter.  Sabrina has been academically honored throughout all her years of schooling, has been consistently active in the sports offered by her schools and community, has been a Girl Scout for 11 years and has been known to volunteer her time and knowledge to those who needs assistance.   She earned the offer of US Ambassadorship and I would like to make this possible for her through your charitable donations.

In participating with this program, Sabrina has the opportunity to earn "5" college credits, gain knowledge in cultural diversity and will have have a better chance of attending the college of her first choice.

She will be traveling with them to England, France, Germany, Belgium, The Netherlands, Austria and Switzerland.  The academic focus is on Architecture, Art, Conservation, History, Language Learning and Political Science. (Specific trip information follows.)

Sabrina will experience these magnificent countries in ways that will inspire her imagination, feed her curiosity and give her a new perspective on this amazing part of the world.
