... And Now, Conference Planning, Worldwide
FAF led, directed or facilitated conferences in 2008 - 2010 that included “Women, Water, and Food Security” and the 2009 VGIF Friendship Tour in Calcutta (see quote below), “The Convocation on the Rights of the Child” for the Vatican, and of course the large, successful “Youth Assembly at the United Nations™”, at UN Headquarters in August 2010. FAF staff have also contributed their time as conference subcommittee co-chairs to large UN conferences in Paris (UNESCO), Mexico City, and Melbourne, Australia between 2008-2010.
"Many thanks to FAF for the exemplary planning and cooperative implementation of the 2009 VGIF Friendship Tour celebrating our 40th Anniversary. The trip combined the high points of seeing the sights with the gratifying experience of meeting with our colleagues and grantee partners in Nepal and India, topped off with a conference in Kolkata focusing on women, water, and food security. FAF and their local partner's attentive and responsive efforts to the changing requirements/challenges of the economic crisis and security concerns during the registration process were most professional and thorough, resulting in a trip that was truly memorable for all participants."

"The success of the first ever Lasallian Convocation at the United Nations on the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child was possible because of the organizational guidance and support of Friendship Ambassadors Foundation.
FAF staff ably served us from the beginning of our planning until the very end of our gathering."

"I
am quite overwhelmed with pride to read the amount of effort you
have made on behalf of our trip. You have a true concept of what
diplomacy involves and effect it repeatedly.”

John McIntyre, Tour Coordinator, Greenwich Choral Society
June 2008
“First
of all, let me tell you that the tour was Wonderful! We couldn’t
have asked for better more receptive audiences. I know very well
that it takes a team to make something like this come to fruition.
So THANK YOU ALL, FAF!”

MISSION: FAF organizes arts and, more broadly, cultural exchange projects in order to promote mutual understanding and global cooperation. Cultural exchange participants of all ages, in academic and diplomatic delegations, and as part of other dance, music, choral (choir), and other cultural groups partake in real interaction during their travels. Hallmarks of successful FAF programs include cultural/performance tours, conference organization, homestays abroad, reconciliation and relief programs, and special projects like our annual Youth Assembly at the United Nations, and other special group travel opportunities.
|
|
VISION: Friendship Ambassadors Foundation believes that cultural exchanges and concert performance tours abroad are special and meaningful ways for Americans to learn more about the rest of the world. Cultural gatherings of all kinds, especially dance, choral and instrumental music programs, transcend language barriers and enable a more basic, pure interaction to take place among those involved. Mutual understanding and global cooperation are encouraged by cultural exchange and essential for the education of youth – the leaders of the future – as well as to reconnect the leaders of today in ways beyond business, religion, and politics would permit. Furthermore, these programs can become valuable fund development and sustainable resource tools for the groups we serve on both ends of many exchanges, concert tours, youth assemblies, and other interactive programming worldwide.
