  1. I have been involved in an annual Asthma-Lung Walk which raises money for research, education, and community outreach programs on Long Island. This walk is held in May (on Long Island)during Asthma Awareness month. Since I participate in the walk every year, if anyone is interested in forming a People to People group for the event, we could discuss how to raise money for both the event & our tuition of the trip.

  3. Are these ideas for projects we will do before we leave, or projects we will do while in Europe?

  4. I go to a camp in the summer on shelter Island called Camp Adventure. Its a camp for kids with cancer and their siblings, it gives them a break from reality and being sick, everyone gets to just be a kid and worry free. Its a week long sleep away camp where no one gets looked at funny for being balled, and everyone becomes very close within that week. THey have a carnival night one night and we can get/bring in toys, books, or anything that is fun to play with for kids within the age of 6-16. ~Aly Sardone

  16. Allison- Sure. Sounds good!

    Megan-It's fine to do all 3. When you begin your research, if it seems like there's too much info, you can narrow it down.

    Brandon- What do you mean by important people? Government? Celebrities? Historical Figures?
