A World of Friends is a World of Peace
(excerpted from The Friendship Force International)
The Friendship Force International, a nonprofit international cultural exchange organization headquartered in Atlanta, was founded with a single mission: to create an environment in which personal friendships are established across the barriers that separate people. It is active in more than 60 countries, promoting friendship and goodwill through an extensive program of homestay exchanges. More than half a million participants have experienced the personal enrichment and cross-cultural understanding that results from a Friendship Force exchange.
Friendship Force International was founded in 1977 by its first president, Wayne Smith and was announced on March 1, 1977, by President Jimmy Carter at White House gathering of state governors.

I am pleased to inform you, that twenty ambassadors from Moscow (Russia) and Tashkent (Uzbekistan) have just arrived to Huntsville (Alabama). The Moscow-to-Huntsville-and-Atlanta Friendship Force exchange was planned last year and Friendship Force of Huntsville is hosting the ambassadors for a week. This Friday the ambassadors leave for Atalanta and will spend another week with the Friendship Force of Atlanta. For both of the clubs the Moscow club brought the "Meet us - we are from Moscow" program (see details on next page please). The program is a part of the project entitled as "Moscow days in North America" .
