This exchange helps cultivate trust, friendship, and mutual respect, contributing to a more peaceful and harmonious world.FFN hosts volunteers for durations ranging from two weeks to ten months, depending on the project. To date, the organization has welcomed over 3,000 volunteers from across the globe.
