Cue happy dance! My name is Ivy Lopez and I am a senior in high school this year. Recently, I've had the opportunity to sign up for a trip going to the Alps and Mediterranean Coast this summer, with students and teachers from my culinary class. I have decided to participate in this trip because of its unique opportunity to explore 11 days through Switzerland, Italy, France, and Spain. We will be exploring food and culture, like attending a traditional Swiss fondue evening, visiting the Mediterranean shores of Cinque Terre and Nice, France, as well as exploring the culture and architecture of Provence, Italy, and Barcelona, Spain. This trip would truly be one to remember, and I believe it would expose me to different aspects of life I have always dreamed of experiencing.

But my family and I need help with the cost, and any amount you can donate would be greatly appreciated to allow me to experience this great adventure!
