Student ambassador for peace
A number of local students are taking part in this year’s People to People Student Ambassador program. Students from grade school to high school can mix and mingle with students from around the world in the program started by President Dwight Eisenhower to promote peacemaking between everyday citizens.
Mason Middle School student Randy Anderson will go to Ireland, England, France and Belgium with the program this summer. The honor roll student won a $2,000 International Merit Scholarship offered through People to People, but that doesn’t quite cover the $7,000 trip.
Read more about Randy and the ambassador program after the jump!
Randy is counting on the community to help him partake in this opportunity. He’s already received some donations and has sold candy bars and cut grass to pay for the trip. So far, he’s raised or won about $3,500.
To donate to Randy’s People to People account, send a check (made out to People to People) to: People to People Student Ambassador Program, 1956 Ambassador Way, Spokane, WA 99224. The check should also include “Randy Anderson” and account number 913936.
Read this story in the Thursday, May 8 edition of The Pulse-Journal Mason edition or read it online.
If you know other local People to People student ambassadors, let me know! Show the community how local students stand out from the pack. Also, send me any story ideas or blog suggestions. I’m always listening…
