PHARMACY 159 N, yey a Shavertown, PA 675-1191 4 eager for role as student 'ambassadors' By KYLIE SHAFFERKOETTER Post staff BACK MOUNTAIN - Four stu- dents from the Back Mountain plan to get some hands-on educa- tion while tackling the outback this summer. The students are involved in the People to People Ambassador Program, which is taking them to Australia and New Zealand. For 21 days these adventurers will meet with other students, government officials and stay with a host family for a short time. | They will also learn a great deal about the indigenous peoples and wildlife of the island continent, and visit major historical sites, museums and monuments. “I want to meet new people and see haw people in different cul- tures live. I think it will be cool to see how a different country is run,” explained Christina Baldo, 16, of Shavertown. “I've always wanted to go to Australia. At first I wasn't sure if the offer was for real; I'm glad that it is.” The students are referred to People to People by other stu- dents who have gone through the program, teachers, or high school listings of college-prep students. They receive an informational bro- chure and application in the mail about the program that was started in 1956 by president Dwight D. Eisenhower. If inter- ested, the students attend an in- formational meeting and are in- terviewed. Students can apply for college credit through the pro- gram. Once accepted the students attend monthly meetings designed to educate and acquaint the trav- elers with one another. “The meet- ings help to bring the group to- gether, to gel and make friends,” said Charlotte Sours, delegation leader and Wyoming Seminary teacher, who will be accompany- ing the group of 29 from both Luzerne and Lackawanna coun- ties on the trip. Sours, who worked with a jun- ior high group last year, said the experience is a maturing one. “They are exposed to different people and a different culture. They see we have much more in common with other countries than they think. Also, they have to be very responsible. They have to keep a journal, it’s like a working vacation,” she explained. Eisenhower believed that pri- vate citizens forging friendships with those from other nations could make a significant contri- bution to world peace. He saw this program as a way to advance the understanding between cul- tures, beyond the restrictive lim- its of official diplomacy. Although not necessarily po- litically driven, the students are up to the challenge of being am- bassadors. “I think it will be neat to represent the United States as an ambassador,” said Courtney Kryston, 15, of Dallas.

" Politics aside, there are many activities on the trip that appeal to these explorers. One that struck all four as a definite highlight is a trip to the Great Barrier Reef, which extends 1,250 miles off the northeastern coast of Australia. : The reef is the largest coral forma- tion in the world. “I'm really look- - ing forward to snorkeling at the Great Barrier Reet,” said Carlson; * who takes a keen interest in wild- life. “I want to go swimming at the reef while we are there,” Kryston. i All four also mentioned their,- curiosity about the wildlife of Aus-’ tralia in particular. The short- nosed bandicoot and Tasmanian Devil, not to mention kangaroos and Koala bears are just a few the animals they might run into. The trip costs $4,000, not in- cluding air fare to Los Angeles where they will depart. “It is a big expense and the students deserve credit because they earn and col- - lect some of the money them- , selves,” said Sour. Selling candy bars is a popular way to collect funds. “I'm selling candy bars and it's going very well,” said Sa- rah Nichol, 15, of Dallas, whose" -’ taste for traveling was whetted by a recent trip to London. Kryston is planning a yard sale to raise extra money. Take a credit-free course af LCCC!
