Hey, I'm Jennifer! I'm a student at Stoughton High School, in Stoughton, Wisconsin, with big dreams.
Many of my dreams are probably the same as yours: I want to see the world, get into college, keep a steady job and I want to have fun doing it all. However, where our dreams may differ is our plans for August. One of my many ambitions is to travel to Madrid, Spain for World Youth Day, in the summer of 2011.
I am a youth with a strong relationship with my church and catholic faith. I enjoy learning more about our religious and spiritual callings. At World Youth Day, i will have the rare opportunity to celebrate my faith with our Pope, Pope Benedict XVI.
Me, along with five other high school students, of St. Ann church, are working hard to earn enough money to make this life changing experience a reality. One of many ways you can support us, and our mission, is to purchase a World Youth Day GeoCoin.
You can read an article that our local Catholic Herald paper did on our GeoCoin at: http://www.madisoncatholicherald.org/news/around-diocese/1869-wyd-geocoin.html
My hope is that hundreds of people purchase these coins and set its destination to Madrid, Spain so that these coins make the same type of pilgramage that I and my friends plan to take. How cool would it be to be able to track and monitor your geocoin on its travels to Madrid, Spain if you could not go yourself, or even cooler that you meet up with it and find it when you get to Madrid, Spain if you go to World Youth Day!!
You can purchase one of our custom designed World Youth Day Goins that are non-activated and trackable made of solid bronze and 2" in diameter at: http://www.catholic-youth-designs.com
