This summer promises to be very exciting for Ebony Johnson, a Secondary Education Spanish major at The College of The Bahamas. She has been selected to receive financial support from AMISTAD, the local organization that promotes the Spanish language and culture in the community, which will enable her to go to the Costa Rica Language Academy for three weeks in August to improve her Spanish language skills.

Ebony, former valedictorian at Doris Johnson Senior High School, was thrilled to receive the funds and spoke enthusiastically about what the forthcoming trip means to her.

"Spanish is my passion," she said, "and I am so grateful to AMISTAD for helping me realize this dream. I want my experience in Costa Rica to enable me to increase my fluency in the language and I also want to improve my communication skills so that I can relate better to students in the classroom."

Donella Davis, President of AMISTAD, said that the organization was very happy to assist Ebony in her endeavours. "One of the aims of AMISTAD," she explained, "is to offer some financial assistance to an individual who has completed high school and plans to do further studies in a Spanish-speaking country."

Rhonda Chipman-Johnson, Vice President of Amistad and Executive Vice President at The College, added, "Ebony reached out to us and applied for assistance. We know her well as mc of Foreign Language Days at The College of The Bahamas and from helping at AMISTAD events. We know she will be a fine ambassador for the country and The College."

AMISTAD means friendship and the organization meets on the third Friday of the month in Room 4 at The Bahamas Tourism Training Centre.
