Foundation for Rural Service Tour 2016
“I had an amazing time getting to know other kids from around the country and learning more about what other small towns deal with on a daily basis. It was awesome to see all the historical landmarks and memorials! It’s definitely a trip that I will never forget! Thanks to HCI for sending me on such an amazing trip!” - Abigail Ballantyne
“My trip to DC was amazing! It was so cool meeting new people that were from towns that were as small as we were. All the monuments and memorials were awesome. A big thank you to HCI for setting this trip up...it was an experience I will never forget!” - Kelli Nightingale
“As a chaperone, I was deeply impressed with the participation of the students. They definitely are concerned with their local areas and the problems they face. It was an inspiration to see the future leaders of our communities educating themselves to be better citizens.” - Cindy Baldwin
“Thank you all for this wonderful opportunity to be on this trip to DC with some of the best and brightest youth this country has. Your two students have been a great asset and show such great promise. One can only hope that both of these ladies will find their way into leadership roles within the local communities. Thank you for this trip and a renewed faith that our rural communities do culture the best and brightest.” - Dinah Wiederstein
