Student Ambassador for People to People

     My name is Becky Wills, I am a 15 year old freshmen in high school and I have a once in a lifetime opportunity to go on a 20 day Student Ambassador trip to Europe.  People to People was established in 1956 by President Dwight Eisenhower to promote peace through understanding through a student ambassador program.  For more than 50 years, students have gained unique and wonderful experience and a better understanding of the global world we live in.  I was selected because I have great grades and they feel that I am a worthy representative of our state and country abroad.
     Our family is large, I have a brother, 16, and two sisters, 5 and 8mo, so it would be a financial hardship for my parents to pay for the entire thing.   My parents promised to help with fund raising and will contribute as much as they can, but I am raising funds to pay for the tuition and trip through this site. If I successfully raise enough money, I will start my adventure in England, then visit France, Belgium, Germany, The Netherlands, and Switzerland.  Throughout the trip, we will have access to sights and experiences not open to the public.  We have the opportunity to learn many things and experience history at its source.  If you can help with any amount of donation, please click on the donate link below and make a secure donation through PayPal today.  Time is running short for the next installment payment due.  Thank you so much!
Becky
