 The
first ever State Department-sponsored American youth group to Saudi Arabia
began on July 23, when the 20 students and two adult leaders flew to Jeddah
to begin their three-week visit to the Saudi Kingdom. They will be hosted
by families and participate in activities designed to teach them about
Saudi society and culture. The students were selected in an open competition
conducted nationwide by AFS-USA, the Bureau’s grantee for the project.
The participants are from eleven states.
