LOCAL STUDENT TO TRAVEL INTERNATIONALLY

WITH PEOPLE TO PEOPLE

Elizabeth Khaleghi, a College Heights Christian School Junior, has been invited to be a Student Ambassador traveling and studying in Ireland, Wales, England, France, Belgium, and the Netherlands in the summer of 2008.   People to People is an educational exploration program founded 1956 by President Dwight D. Eisenhower, who believed that ordinary citizens of different nations, if able to communicate directly, would solve their differences and find a way to live in peace.

Khaleghi was identified as a result of her participation in the College Board Student Search Service, the organization that administers the SAT and PSAT.  She will experience 20 days of activities while representing the United States as a Student Ambassador in six foreign countries.
