Chloe to be top ambassador

Chloe to be top ambassador

25 April 2012

DOWN High School student Chloe Burgess has been chosen to participate in a prestigious Young Ambassadors Exchange Programme organised by Ards Council.

The former Saintfield High student, who moved to Down High to study for her A levels, was one of four young people chosen to visit Peoria in Arizona this summer.

Chloe had to undergo a selection process which required her to complete an application form, write and essay and be interviewed.

The purpose of the exchange programme is to provide an opportunity for students and their families from both regions to develop an understanding of each other’s cultures through an inter-change of information about politics, economics and people.

Looking forward to her trip and hosting American visitors Chloe added: “I want to give them the best experience of life and culture in Northern Ireland.”
