In 2017 our district was very lucky to take 12 students to South Africa. 4 of these students focused on learning the difference in athletics and physical education in South Africa compared to the USA, while the other group focused on agriculture. It was a very eye opening experience. We will take another group on the same trip in 2019. This was a great experience that other schools could also find a way to accomplish. I would like to talk about the process we went through related to approval, fund raising, insurance, and international travel with students. The goal would be for others to use the information to help set up their own International Athletic Ambassador Program in their district.
