Chicago Passport Party Project 2012
As much as I’d love to still be in Jamaica, I couldn’t be more pleased to spend this past weekend in Chicago for the Passport Party Project. It has been over a year since I joined Tracey and 10 lovely girls in Los Angeles (my home at the time) for the inaugural Passport Party Project.
What a difference a year makes…
This time The PPP partnered with Empowering Youth Through Travel, a Chicago-based non-profit, founded by Jessica Mann, which does just as the name suggests; a perfect match!
Though the activities and flow of event has evolved, the goal of the project still remains the same: to give young girls (ages 11-15) a world view! And that is exactly what went down: a travel vision board session, cupcake eating contest (they were travel themed cupcakes), a wanderlust inspired photo session, international show and tell sprinkled with global travel and passport facts. We concluded the day with stories from volunteers about their personal travel stories. These young ladies left with everything needed for their first passport and hopefully a whole lot of inspiration, another PPP success!
Not only did the kids have a great time, but so did the volunteers. It was great to finally meet and learn a bit more about these lovely ladies who I’ve only had the privilege of connecting with online. Shouts out to Angela M. (@2girls_bikini), Rosalind C. (@FarsightedGirl) Janice T. (@skychi_travels) and Tracey F. (@onebrowngirl) — happy to share this day with you ladies and learn more about you and your travel stories.
Here’s a look at the day in photos:
Four cities and 40 more world views to go in this iteration of the Passport Party Project. The way my schedule looks now, I won’t be able to attend any of the 4 remaining parties, but I am looking forward to the…
