Founded
by Fulbright Scholar Harry Morgan and well respected travel
professional Cappy Devlin, FAF has facilitated international travel
and exchange programs as an independent foundation since 1973 - and
for more than 15 years prior to that as an informal program
supported in large part by Lila and DeWitt Wallace (founders,
Readers Digest). Since its inception, FAF has cultivated
international affiliations and representation in order to fulfill
its mission: Promote Peace Through Cultural Exchange.

35 YEARS, YOUR DONATIONS HAVE MEANT A
LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS TO US - time, money, instruments,
personal commitment, and an overabundance of internships from
students across the country and around the world. In their own
ways, people from all walks of life have reinforced FAF's
vision: Global engagement on the cultural level, devoid of
business, religion and politics, helps makes the world a better,
more peaceful place. Please

and
Tourism as sustainable development
Central to the work and vision of FAF is to ensure that local vendors manage local projects. Through this and actual workshops (such as 'The Road
Ahead' - see the archives), the foundation ensures that cultural exchange will be a form of local, respectful sustainable development for years to come. |
