Dear Friends,

Time has passed quickly - FAR has organized thirteen Young Professional Trips since 1995 - but I still remember every single one of them. All the great things that we have done together, the food that we have enjoyed, the people we have met, the sightings that we have seen, and, above all, the great companionship that we have all embraced.

This year I wanted to write down some of these memories and collect stories of our trips to Armenia. And I am going to need your help to do so.

We have just opened a shiny brand-new blog (http://faryp.wordpress.com), a forum where YP alumni can share their stories with other alumni and potential future travelers.

I would like to invite you to contribute your memories to it. Please write down and send me your best and most unique trip experience, perhaps accompanied by one to six photographs, and we are going to post it on our blog. It will be a great way to (re) connect, to remember, and to share.

In March this blog will be accompanied by our very own Facebook Page where you will be invited to stay in touch with each other, to share your experiences, and to foster friendship. I'll keep you posted on that.

I am quite excited about these developments and hope that it will give me the opportunity to reconnect with every single one of you.

So, just send your one to three paragraphs and your pictures to arto@farusa.org - I am very much looking forward to get in touch with you.

All the best,
Arto
