People to People Sponsorship

Hello there.
I am a ninth grader from Oak Lawn, IL. A few months ago, I received a letter from People to People Program for about the fifth time and I am convinced I cannot go once again because of the cost of the trip. I am hoping that I can find some financial aid to help me finance this trip and that I could finally go. I am a good student. I have mainly all A's and all classes that can possibly be honors, I am in. I also am a swimmer for my high school. I am an independent and mature person. I was raised by two immigrant parents and have learned from my Polish culture as well as how to achieve the best and most importantly work hard in life. If anyone that is interested to help me, I would extremely appreciate it. Thank you.

About Nick20

               My name is Nick McCoy, and I am a 10th grade student at DeWitt High School in Michigan. I maintain a 4.0 GPA as well as play baseball and tennis for the school. I volunteer for the church food pantry as well as Habitat for Humanity. I was recently interviewed and accepted to participate as a member of the People to People Student Ambassador Program to England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland, this summer. The 19-day exchange includes meetings with government officials, interaction with other students my age, educational activities, and home stays with host families. I am currently seeking financial sponsors to help me with tuition. Personally, I am looking forward to broadening my perspectives of the world and gaining a better understanding of the Irish history due to my ancestry. As an Ambassador, I can also earn high school and college credit because of the many educational elements in the program. The program tuition is $7139, which includes all transportation, accommodation, meals and educational activities. Any amount of contributions would be appreciated. Please feel free to contact me here on aidpage. Thank you in advance for your consideration and support.

About Ivonne92

My name' s Ivonne and I am a sixteen year old girl; I am a vegetarian and a straight A student. That is until recently. I was accepted into the People to People Ambassaror Program and to pay the monthly payments I got a job at KFC (although I am still vegetarian) and for the first time ever I got a D (in Trigonometry no less!) and a C in AP English. My strongest subjects in school are English and Math, and I am so mad at myself. I got a job to pay for the trip, the job interfered with my performance at school, all that's left is for me to not earn the full-tuition scholarship. Then I would have to work more hours and I would get worse grades.  I want to believe that I'll earn the scholarship but I'm not sure how the selection process works and if it is even need-based. I hope it is and I hope that I get the scholarship. But in case I don't, I'm looking around for sponsors. The bad part is that any money that I get from people is not tax-deductible so I'm not very lucky in my search. There's not much to say about my family's situation except that my mom indulged on her children (not herself) when she was young, and she didn't know how to manage her credit cards; because of that, my mom works 10 hour shifts just about everyday, so we don't see her often, and my sister has been working since she was 16 1/2 to pay off my mom's debt. My sister's in college now and she is still working to pay off that debt, although with the P2P program I think this will be harder. That really sucks because I've been wanting to go to Japan for a long time, since I was in 6th grade, and now that I have the chance to go I might not be able to. I would try fundraising except that my job gets in the way, and it also limits my time on searching for sponsors. If anyone can help me, either by sponsoring me or pointing me in a good direction, I greatly appreciate it. I was thinking of doing some sort of presentation of my trip to the people who  can help me; maybe I could write something or do a powerpoint with pictures that I take. But that's all useless if I dont' go to Japan. Again, I would appreciate any help I can get, and thank you for taking the time to read this.

Greetings,
 My son William Humphrey was nominated to be a student Ambassador.       
People to People an orginization founded by president Eisenhower. The trip total will be $6,499.00.  I have paid the first $400.00 to reserve his seat. He has been accepted and now we are needing help with sponsorships . My direction is all of god. I don't truly know where to start. My son has been very successful through his 11 years in school. Maintaing a high gpa. Bringing attention to alot of teachers and others in the Quincy, Illinois school system. He has won a spot in the National Academic Academy of Acheivement this year of 2008. He is a very talented young man who continues to strive for the best even though we have never had everything to give him. My mother and myself have raised him to be respectful and do unto others as they do unto you. His goal in life is to be a successful artist doing animation.   As a child he was very sick with serious asthma. He has over came the athsma attacks and the many, many trips to the hospital. I feel that god has givin him the talent to be a successful young man of the world. With help. 
My son has been nominated 2 years in a role. I can't truly afford to send him on my own. So i'm asking for all the help I can get to get him to Japan this summer.
Please help in any way you can and god bless you for your efforts.
Thanks,
A proud mother.

Financial Sponsors needed for Student Ambassadors program

!A Brief Message from Debbie Hodgdon to Everyone!

 

Hello, I’m Debbie Hodgdon and I was nominated to participate in the People to People Student Ambassador program. It’s all about building high school teens into global citizens. It promotes peace and understanding people from different cultures. The goal is to increase younger generations’ global awareness so that eventually war would cease due to participants experiencing and learning first-hand from a global perspective.

            I have been given the opportunity to travel to Japan in the Summer of 2009 as a student ambassador and I more than gladly took the offer, but I desperately need your help. My mother and I are in a poor financial position and I’m looking for sponsors, money donations, or the purchase of Tahitian Noni Juice or Avon products. The tuition for my trip is $6,499. I must send in $400 of that amount along with my application form by the end of this year in order to reserve my spot on the trip. I was told spots fill up quickly so I feel more under pressure.

            Without you, this opportunity would not be possible for me. This letter is me forcing myself to step out of my comfort zone and create possibilities for myself. I am asking you and many other people for any amount of money, even checks or pocket change. Any profit made from the bold letters above would go towards my funding for this trip and it would be very greatly appreciated.

            I want to let you know that I’m not just asking for money, I’m going to get a weekend job to earn it as well. I’ve been reluctant to get a job in the past because my time is spent at extracurricular MCJROTC programs, homework, studying, eating, and finally making sure I get enough sleep for school the next day. Thank you to anyone who takes the time to read and consider this and/or helps support my cause. You can contact me at dmasxz91@aim.com.

Best regards to everyone!

 

What I know About Tahitian Noni Juice:

·        Supports immune system

·        Supports cardiovascular system

·        Boosts energy and strength

·        Helps healing and sickness

·        Has superior antioxidants

As far as I know, it’s the healthiest drink around and besides the profit benefiting me, noni juice will definitely benefit you.

            If your interested in this product, there’s much more information at these websites:

  • Tahitiannoni.com
  • Tni.com/2579766  (Products purchased from this website goes directly to the account of one of my best friends who sells noni juice. You can contact him at tedborowskijr@aol.com)

 

My Mom is an Avon Representative:

Avon products are more directed towards women and people interested in cosmetics, fragrances, and also a variety of other products for comfort and the holidays. Visit Avon.com to browse through the types of products. You can contact my mom, Priscilla Hodgdon, at pdhodgdon261@verizon.net.

I am fourteen years old and have just started my freshman year of high school. This page was started so i could get a scholarship for the People to People Student Ambassador program that is going to Japan. I would really love to go to Japan not just for the learning experience and culture, but because I am studing the language this year as one of my classes and hopefully i will work over there as a fashion designer. Please if anyone could help me with financial aid it would be greatly appreciated because I live in a low income house and we have no money to pay for this trip (its around $5,000). Contact me by e-mail: substitute78@aim.com

Help needed for a young girl who might have had her dreams crushed:(

I was recently invited to go on "the trip of a lifetime!!!" my excitement was phenominal but it was just to be crushed by a staggering  price tag. People to people is the program  that issued this trip to me. Being a 14 year old girl I guess you could say that I just skipped passed the price and only saw the nice. But after doing some seriouse research I realized that this may be a big set-back and a dagger through my dreams. So as of now im left wondering if fate is truly just playing with my emotions.
