High school students set to broaden world view in China
The Prince Albert Travel Club (PATC) is going to China with close to 70 students next spring.
Trips like these are meant to enlighten the youth, said trip organizer Donna Dalziel
“All of us need to open our eyes and understand that we are all different,” she explained. “When we go to a different country we learn the universality of a handshake, a smile, a greeting, concern. All of that makes for a very small world.”
Dalziel said for more than 20 years she's witnessed students humbled by poverty and other difficulties in third world countries during their travels. The organizer also added how important it is to travel and learn new things because breaking down cultural barriers teaches children not to judge their peers and to be more accepting of those who are struggling.
