WANTED: DREAM AUCTION DONORS Friendship Corps Missions are supported by profits from some CIMPA events as well as proceeds from online travel auctions on EBay. We need the help of our supplier partners. WHAT IS FRIENDSHIP CORPS?Friendship Corps is a CIMPA initiative
developed by meeting professionals who have attended our international
conferences and incentives. It is genuinely exciting to think about the power we have, as meeting planners, incentive and travel organizers to change attitudes and perspectives of travelers. Most people wrestle with the question of how to fix the world. We just want to do it meeting by meeting, trip by trip – one friendship at a time. The purpose of Friendship Corps is to promote understanding, friendship and tolerance among peoples of the world. WE TRY TO THIS IN 2 WAYS: 1. We organize Friendship Tours. To understand what makes this different from ordinary tours, please click here. 2. We organize medical and educational missions to needy villages around the world.These are funded by profits from some CIMPA events, mainly fundraising at the annual conference as well as proceeds from DREAM Auctions. Please help us by making a donation. You will be listed as a sponsor in our website as well as in our magazine and 2 e-newsletters distributed to over 100,000 meetng professionals in our database.. Names of sponsor companies will be announced in MICE Radio, the Voice of the Meetings, Incentives, Conventions and Events Industry.. Participants in Friendship Corps missions pay for their own airfare, accommodations and other travel expenses. Funds raised are only spent for programs such as building a well for clean water, playground, books for community library, medicine and supplies for medical missions, children's camps, training materials for community health education and other activities. It is good business. We invite you to participate by completing the PARTICIPATION FORM. ALA Foundation charitable projects are currently administered
