What is People to People?

You might be wondering what this organization is and what it is all about. Well, I can fix that.
People to People is an international organization that was started by Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1956 and strives to create a better world with peace through understanding.
Their Mission states:

"We bridge cultural and political borders through education and exchange, making the world a better place for future generations."  (Official People to People Website)

 

 They send thousands of students in junior high and high school around the world to learn first-hand about other places and the people that live there. There are programs in all seven continents and many go to several different countries.
By giving students (and educators) the opportunity to travel they promote the "bridging of cultural and political borders, through direct interaction, unparalleled access and unique opportunities" (Official Website). By doing this, they hope to raise a generation of educated indaviduals free from prejudice and ignorance toward other people and cultures.
