During final preparations, remember to prepare yourself!



As we all start final preparations to bring the THINGS we need to bring on our tour, remember what you need to do to prepare YOURSELF to fulfill your role as an ambassador during the tour.
An ambassador is a person who acts as a representative or a promoter of a specific activity.  Each of you is an ambassador for your family, our schools, our community, this exchange, and our country . Every action and interaction matters while we are on tour together.  Here are some specific ways in which you can fulfill your role as an ambassador during our upcoming tour:

  • Remember, words matter.
  • Talk slowly and choose the right words during conversations.
  • Listen twice as much as you speak.
  • Take only pictures, leave only footprints.
  • When you depart a place, leave it better condition than it was before your arrival.
  • Leave a great impression on the outside (physical environment.)
  • Leave an even better impression on the inside (transform hearts and minds by who you are and by how you perform.)
  • When in a group on tour, your actions not minimized, rather, they are magnified.  Travel with dignity and decorum while in public with our group while on tour.
