We understand that the impact of COVID-19 on 2021 international travel remains uncertain. At the same time, it is important to support clubs looking optimistically towards the future. Please indicate your interest in any Friendship Force Journey, safe in the knowledge that we will keep you updated as we learn more about the global travel situation.
Feeling adventurous? Ready to travel soon?
Journey Coordinator seeks indications of interest for May 2021 Global Journey to Armenia and Azerbaijan.
In order to begin preliminary planning, it’s only fair to our two hosting clubs, FF Baku & FF Yerevan, (both of whom are very keen to host us,) that we have an idea of whether or not we will be able to recruit enough ambassadors to fill this Journey. Please email Journey Coordinator, Bobbie Mulholland, mulholland.bobbie1@gmail.com, to register your interest.
It is well understood that this Journey will only proceed if the COVID19 situation has improved enough to permit travel.
