8/19/05-from Caroline Stone: I have just got back from travelling around Australia for the last year. I spent 8 months working in Sydney and travelling to places like Melbourne, Darwin and Fiji! I then spent 3 months travelling the rest of the country. It was an amazing experience and I met some great people. I am now back in London but have decided I have not seen enough of the world!

I am therefore taking part in a trek across the Himalayas for a charity called Help the Aged. I need to raise £2,200 and will be organising a variety of fundraising events over the next few months. If anyone would like to sponsor me then you can do so by visiting my online sponsorship page at www.justgiving.co.uk/carolineindia where you can donate money via a secure site. Any contribution will be much appreciated.

Thanks, Caroline

Semester at Sea an eye-opening journey for former Hale student

- excerpt from Tulsa World, May 12, 2004 - Something is different about Ellen Schmieding, and it isn't just her hairstyle.  The 22-year old recently returned home from participating in the Semester at Sea program.  On January 16, the SS Universe Explorer departed Nassau, Bahamas, with Schmieding and 634 other undergraduate college student abroad. 

Semester at Sea is a global studies education program sponsored by the University of Pittsburgh.  It offers students the opportunity to see life at some of the world's great sea port cities while taking classes on board for college credit.  The ship docked at Havana, Cuba; Salvador, Brazil; Cape Town, South Africa; Dar es Salaam, Tanzania; Chennai, India; Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam; Hong Kong; Pusan, Korea; and Osaka, Japan, before arriving in Seattle on April 26.

After graduating from Nathan Hale High School, Schmieding moved to Oregon for two years.  She returned to Tulsa to attend TU, where she majors in political science.  Schmieding said that she had been interested in Semester at Sea for a while.  "What other opportunity am I going to get to see the world?" she said.

After college, Schmieding wants to go into the Peace Corps before finding a job in Russia or one of the "-stan" satellite countries nearby. She also plans to attend graduate school.
