We Give Books Enhances Learning AFAR Impact
(Written by Guest Blogger Jennifer Malchiodi of The Pearson Foundation)
The Learning AFAR program promotes cross-cultural exchange by sponsoring international travel for students in the US who cannot otherwise afford to experience another part of the world. The Pearson Foundation has been proud to partner with Learning AFAR by helping to sponsor travel for US students traveling to Peru and Costa Rica. Last year, Learning AFAR supported 78 students and educators from Chicago, New York City, Houston and Oakland. This year, the program will support 97 students and their teachers as they travel to Costa Rica, Peru, Cambodia, the Yucatan and the U.S. Southwest. Also new to this year’s program, we are welcoming student travelers from Seattle!
