“I have always been very interested in Asian cultures and think it would be great growth experience.,” says Kelly. “ The People To People mission is ‘To idge cultural and political borders through education and exchange, making the world a better place for future generations.' I care very much about our world and making it a better place and this is really why I would like to go. “ Thus far, Kelly has raised $4319.00 earning money through babysitting, extra household chores, and tutoring. She needs to raise a total of $7,500 in the next two months in order to go on the trip and thus is working very hard on fundraising.
“I must attend monthly People to People training sessions<“explains Kelly.” There were 22 delegates selected in the Chesapeake Bay Area, and 15 from the Lafayette NJ area.”
