| "I have long believed, as have many before me,
that peaceful relations between nations require mutual respect
between individuals." |
~ President Dwight D. Eisenhower
|
President Dwight D. Eisenhower believed that ordinary citizens
of different nations, if able to communicate directly, would solve
their differences and find a way to live in peace. In 1956 he put
those believes into action and Created People To People Ambassador
programs whose mission developed around personal exchanges and
firsthand experiences with other cultures.
President John F. Kennedy said it best: "The nature of People
to People activities is as varied as the individuals involved...
the power of people, acting as individuals, to respond imaginatively
to the world's need for peace."
People to People Student Ambassador Programs are invitation-only
programs that provide international educational opportunities for
grade school, junior high school, and high school students. Our
journeys combine hands-on cultural experiences, behind-the-scenes
access to fascinating people and places, and amazing outdoor adventures
to create life-changing educational experiences. You can learn
more about them on their website at www.studentambassadors.org. |

Who
Am I?
|
|
My name is Christine
Langford (People to People Delegate ID# 812330) and I am a
high school Freshman. I recently received the honor of being
nominated, interviewed, and selected to participate in the
People to People
delegation
to Australia in July 2007. I am excited to participate in
this unique educational journey. I need to raise $6,500 for
the trip and as you can see from the thermometer above, I have
raised just about $2,000 from yard sales, EBay auctions, bake
sales, letters from Santa, and private donations. Your purchase
of one of the items outlined below will assist greatly in meeting
my
goal
and is
very much
appreciated.

Am I Doing To Raise Funds? |

LETTERS FROM SANTA:
You can have a letter
from "Santa" written
to the youngster in your life - a son, daughter, niece, nephew,
friend, etc. Complete the information here (or click on the Santa
Letters! tab to the left) so that I can personalize the letter
to the child. With the help of my grandparents who live in Alaska,
the letters will be mailed from the North
Pole with a North Pole postage mark! (That's right - there really IS a town in Alaska
called North Pole!) The
letter will be on decorative holiday paper and mailed in a
decorative "Santa" envelope.
I am asking for a minimum $5 donation to cover costs and leave
some for profit for the fundraising. |

Gift Jars:
I am selling decorative gift jars
with all the dry ingredients for making chocolate chip cookies
or soup!
These make great gifts for a neighbor, co-worker, the mailman,
etc. They are available even after the holidays. A minimum
suggested donation is $10 per jar, plus shipping. Email me
for more info at

Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies:
We
can take all the work out of the cookies for you and send
you these
delicious
cookies,
homemade
with lots of love and chocolate (but no nuts for those who
may be allergic!) They come a dozen to a bag and I am asking
for
a minimum $5 donation per bag plus shipping. Like your cookies
hot out of the oven? Just put them in the microwave for 10 seconds
to get them
chocolatey-gooey good! Email me
