I don't normally get involved with these types of fund raisings but this
one seems to be for a good cause.

Dear Neal,
I was recently interviewed and accepted to participate as a People to
People Student Ambassador to England and France this summer. This 19-day
exchange consists of meetings with government officials, interaction with
other students my age, educational activities, and home stays with host
families.
I am currently asking my family and friends for financial sponsorship to
help me with tuition, and I hope I can count on your support. In case you
haven't heard of People to People I will tell you a little about the
program. President Dwight D. Eisenhower founded People to People in 1956.
He believed that if people from different cultures could come together in
peace and friendship, so eventually would nations.
People to People Ambassadors are carefully interviewed and evaluated
before their acceptance into the program. I am excited to share this
wonderful experience upon my return. As an ambassador I will be earning
college credit because of the many educational elements in my program.
This experience will increase my understanding of the world and give me
the opportunity to learn firsthand about new places and cultures. This
knowledge will help me to become the best person I can be.
The program tuition is approximately $5,000, which includes meals,
transportation, accommodations, and educational activities. I am asking
everyone to donate however much they can to help me reach this amount. Is
it possible for you to assist me by making a contribution? I plan to share
my experience with everyone once I return by sending photographs of
everything I have seen and visited.
My program tuition is due by the end of March. You can go online and make
