For many years students from Delaware
have traveled abroad on visits arranged by the
People to People Student Ambassador National
Office. Each fall a representative from the
National Office speaks to Delaware students to
introduce the idea of travel with People to People
International. These assemblies have taken place in
the Wilmington and Dover areas this past fall and
individual interviews with local teacher/leaders who
will travel with the students have been completed.
These orientation meetings and interviews are to
acquaint the students with the geography, history,
government, and culture of the places they will
visit. This also helps them develop civic
awareness, citizenship, and other skills to prepare
them to become Student Ambassadors. In 2010:
Delaware
high school students will travel to:
France,
England, Ireland, Wales, Netherlands, and Belgium
South
Africa (limited to Independent Schools)
Middle
school and Grade school students will travel
separately to:
To date, 142
students have signed to travel on these
itineraries. In 2009, 131 students traveled on
similar programs.
For many
years the Delaware Chapter has awarded an annual
scholarship to a Delaware student to partly pay for
the travel cost. This year the award has been
granted to Kayla Albertella, a 10th grade student at
Cape Henlopen High School. She is involved in a
wide variety of organizations and activities, both
in the school and in the community. Her community
involvement,academic achievements, financial need,
leadership, and activities make her very deserving
of this award. Congratulations, we hope you gain
much on this travel program.
Each year as
we review the many applications for this
scholarship, we are very impressed with the high
level of young students we have in our state. This
year is no exception.
