Club's new International Committee shares announcement about CFP

Are you interested in a true hands-on international experience with Rotary? CFP – Creating Friendships for Peace – is an organization that pairs teens from the divided island of Cyprus to build friendships across Cyprus’ UN-controlled buffer zone and learn lifelong peacebuilding skills. CFP has partnered with Rotary for many years and teens have been hosted by numerous District 5100 Rotary families. CFP also works to build peace between Israeli/Palestinian teens, but they are hosted on the East Coast.

Important dates: CFP is looking for home hosts for two teens approximately July 1-21. The deadline to apply to host students is March 31. The agenda is well established for the program – you only need to provide housing, friendship, meals, and transportation. We will have a speaker about this program in April but if this sounds interesting, please talk with Sue Coates. She has hosted students three times now and can answer many of your questions.
