          A WORLD OF FRIENDS IS A WORLD OF PEACE

Friendship Force International (FFI) offers an exceptional way of changing the way you see the world, through a week-long exchange between visitors (ambassadors) from one country and hosts in another country who welcome you to their home.   A smile, a handshake, a meal shared, and the world takes on the face of a friend. Beyond frontiers, governments, tourist attractions, you can explore life elsewhere as members of a family, understand other cultures by sharing their daily life, serve by welcoming others into your home and region.   And through new friendships, you can help build a better and more peaceful world.       For more information see the Friendship Force International link in the top menu.
