Lewiston – On Thursday, August 18, members of  Lewiston-Auburn Rotary Club welcomed Lisbon High School Interact Member, Jennifer Clifford.  Jennifer was the guest speaker for the noon luncheon meeting.  A member of the LHS Class of 2014 Clifford shared her quest – a trip to Ecuador through the Me to We program.   Nine months ago, thirteen Lisbon students, parents and two teachers developed a mission to “enliven the spirits of their town and community by building opportunities overseas,” according to Clifford.  Students will have an opportunity to assist with building a school in rural Chimborazo province while attending daily leadership and Spanish lessons.   Students presented their vision to the Lisbon School Committee and are working hard seeking outside funding throughout the business community.  The time line for the trip is departing February 2012 for the twelve days in Ecuador.  FYI contact faculty advisor, Jacqlyn Young at 353.3030 or emailing jyoung@lisbonschoolsme.org.
