On the last day of Ben's school year I received a phone call at work from his school. A few weeks earlier he had submitted an application and interview for the district's ROSETA (Richland One Student Experience To Africa) program. Each middle school in his district allows sixth graders to apply and they choose 2 per school from the applicant pool. Then, after a year of classes, fundraising, research and study those students travel to AFRICA the June after 7th grade for two weeks. There they visit Ghana and Morocco where they study culture, history, education, arts, etc.
Well......... Ben was selected as one of the two students to GO TO AFRICA in June 2012 from his school!!!!!!!! We are so excited for him!!! And, he absolutely can't wait to go!!
