by Steven Kissinger
I t was a historic event for both
The Immokalee Foundation and
its students: For the first time in
25 years 24 students from Immokalee
traveled to a presidential inauguration in
Washington, D.C.
“It was a life-changing moment,” said
17-year-old Immokalee High School
senior Ulna Beaubrum after the trip.
“There were so many things I hadn’t seen
before. It was surreal.”
Like the other 23 students who
journeyed by bus – organized by The
Brunson Foundation and State Rep.
Byron Donalds – to see Donald Trump
officially become the nation’s 45th
president on January 20, Beaubrum was
selected as a result of an essay contest
about why she wanted to attend. The
contest was open to students in The
GRACIELA CERVANTES AND ALICIA HUAPILLA, THE IMMOKALEE FOUNDATION
