Families in Rappahannock County will build a bridge of friendship to the Muslim world with the help of local coordinator, Carol Lucking. Having just returned from a conference in Seattle, Washington, where twelve middle eastern students told heartwarming stories of their year in America, Ms. Lucking is working in partnership with the Rappahannock County High School and the “Partnership for Learning Youth and Study Program” (YES). The YES Program is funded by the U.S. Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs and seeks to restore mutual respect and build personal bridges of understanding between the youth of the U.S. and the Muslim world.
Local families will host three students from the middle east for the coming school year.
Kuwait, Pakistan and Morocco are the countries that will be represented through the YES program. Borne out of the post-9/11 legislation supported by Senators Kennedy and Lugar, students are competitively selected to be ambassadors for their countries. YES
