The Pasadena Sister Cities'(PSCC) Armenia Sub-Committee is looking
for applicants for their Pasadena/Vanadzor mutual student exchange
program; the deadline for which this year is November 28, 2008.
PSCC's Armenia Sub-Committee has managed past student exchanges with
positive results.
High school students from Pasadena, sixteen and over, who spend time
in Vanadzor, came back raving about the warm hospitality, family
values and the cultural heritage of Armenia.
Reciprocally, students from Armenia who visit Pasadena spend time
with teachers, intern with professionals and live with American and
locally established Armenian families, to get immersed in the local
culture. This is a volunteer program where students pay their own
travel fare but are housed and entertained by families in the host
city. The exchange is managed from Pasadena through affiliates in
Vanadzor, with a meticulous accounting of all expenses.
Exchange program students are the best ambassadors of goodwill to
propagate the benefits of mutual visits. PSCC's Armenia Sub-Committee
calls upon schools, .residents and businesses in Pasadena, interested
in sending students over, to contact [email protected], PSCC
Student Coordinator, for information or applications.
