The Youth Council toured the new Lincoln Corner at the U.S. Education Foundation Pakistan (USEFP) and learned about the free expert academic advising available to all prospective students who dream of studying in the United States at EducationUSA. They also toured an art exhibition on America 250 and learned about our early history, independence, and fundamental values of liberty and democracy.
