Our grandniece is preparing for her second summer in the elite program “People to People.” She is a rising sophomore in Leesburg, Virginia and will be celebrating her 16th birthday in August. The lovely, talented and brilliant—yes, no bias here—young lady will be spending this summer in Australia. Last summer she traveled to Italy and Greece. People to People InternationalPeople to People International dates back more than half a century to its founding by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1956. Eisenhower was acting on his firm belief that direct interaction between ordinary citizens around the world can promote cultural understanding and world peace. That proud legacy of hope lives on in People to People Ambassador Programs on seven continents. Student Ambassadors travel to every continent on the globe, primarily during the months of June, July, and August, with additional programs taking place during winter break. Comprising up to forty students per group, delegations visit exciting locations on all seven continents, from Europe to Asia, Africa to Antarctica.
