FRIENDSHIP Force is an international organisation focused on promoting an understanding of different cultures through homestay journeys. There are 20 clubs in Australia, with 300 clubs across the world. The local club hosted ambassadors from the USA, Canada and New Zealand for a most interesting week early this year. The theme was Outdoors Active and each day presented a challenging but enjoyable experience. Activities thoughout the week included ebike cycling along the coastal pathways, mountain bike riding from Ewan Maddock Dam to Landsborough, guided kayak paddling along Currimundi waterways, a strenuous five-hour trek through Kondalilla National Park to Baroon

Pocket Dam and square dancing at the Buderim Square Dancing centre.

Each ambassador was home-hosted with a club member and accompanied by other members every day. Picnic lunches and dinner provided by members is all part of the friendship offered by every club.

In this immersive week of connection, strangers when we meet become friends when they depart.
