My name is Jamie Lee Evans. This is my 5th trip with FYCE and in July we will travel to Peru.
I am the daughter of Gloria Evans and Guey Wong Lee.
My father was an immigrant from China, My mother is of Welsh heritage. My father died young and my mother had issues, so I spent some of my childhood in foster care. I grew up in Gardena, California and never believed people like me would have the chance to travel. At 43 something burst open inside and the world changed. I started traveling. First to Thailand. And as soon as I experienced the air, the people, the difference... I wanted to bring that experience to other former foster youth. That is how Foster Youth Cultural Exchange began. I made a little story about it.
