After last year’s trip, Dr.(s) Susan Graham and Jon Kucera wrote: “What a great time the Georgia expedition was! It was a pleasure to get to know you and a privilege to learn about the history, culture, challenges and accomplishments of the people of Georgia. I can honestly say that every one of the organizations that we visited supported by American Friends of Georgia left me with the same feeling of admiration and inspiration. Each one was run by committed individuals who through the strength of purpose and incredible effort had created a solid program that was doing good things on a shoestring. It was clear that not a penny was wasted, and that the support of American Friends of Georgia was greatly appreciated.”

American Friends of Georgia's 'Journey to Georgia' Trip

Dear Friends,

It is my pleasure to invite you to join AFG on a journey of discovery to a place which we are passionate about--the unique country of Georgia, Land of the Golden Fleece.  This in-depth adventure combines the pleasure of touring a fabulously beautiful and welcoming place and the "business" of visiting some of the humanitarian projects that are supported by American Friends of Georgia.  We are privileged to be seeing a side of Georgia that ordinary tourists will never catch a glimpse of--meeting extraordinary Georgians, sipping wine in a Bishop's vineyard, and visiting AFG projects such as Abbess Mariam's Day Care Center for vulnerable children.  In between these inspiring visits, we'll be experiencing the beauty, hospitality and bountiful food of the ancient culture of Georgia.

AFG's 'Journey to Georgia' trip will be September 9 - 18, 2012, with an optional extension of September 18 - 23, 2012.  So you can choose our 9 day trip.  Or you can stay on for an additional 5 days for our optional extension trip.  

Please see this brochure in both horizontal and panel forms.  If you have any friends who you think would be interested in seeing Georgia through our eyes, please forward this information to them.

You may contact me with any questions or call the MIR Corporation at 800-424-7289.  AFG is working with the MIR Corporation, experts in Eurasian travel.  Click onto this link to see AFG's 'Journey to Georgia' trip on their website.
