The Tucson ambassadors of Friendship Force International have been journeying around the world for nearly 30 years. Traveling with a purpose, while enjoying the most amazing experiences, offers you unique opportunities.
On a recent trip to Brazil, our ambassadors of friendship were treated to a meal at a family farm. We enjoyed a home cooked lunch on their porch before being given poached fresh peaches for dessert. Then we were offered the opportunity to scrape our own cinnamon off the tree in the yard.
A few years ago, our guests from Japan taught me how to make miso soup - from scratch! My kitchen smelled wonderful. Nothing ever tasted so good. Moments like these happen everyday on a Friendship Force journey.
Often, you will become friends with your hosts and your guests. Over the years, many of us have formed lasting relationships with others of another culture and other parts of our own country who belong to Friendship Force clubs.
Please take a look at the International website to see how FF clubs makes these journeys happen. This year, our Tucson-Southern Arizona ambassadors are headed to New Zealand, visiting two different clubs. When we return, we will be finalizing the itinerary for our next guests, ambassadors from the most southern state in Mexico.
You can make a difference in this world and enjoy yourself, too. Please join and come with us on our next adventure.
