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.
