OF Grafton is a fantastic organisation! I was lucky enough to be a part of their travel programme during the summer and they put in a lot of hard work and effort to give their delegates the best experience possible. I will always cherish the wonderful friends and memories I made during OF and this chapter really deserves your vote !!!

This is a group that's worth your vote. I've been associated with OF for many years and both my kids have had great experiences in both traveling to Europe and hosting European visitors. It's been a great experience for the entire family. OF offers rewarding programs and the fun raising has brought so many families together.

Hi,
I am from Northern Ireland and I took part in Operation Friendship in summer 2011. I can honestly say that it was one of the best experiences I have ever had and would recommend it to everyone. It is a great charity and has given me the fabulous opportunity to form great friendships with other teens in Massachusetts. I can also say I am a proud member of Operation Friendship and I am really greatful for everything I received whilst in Grafton.
Thanks,
Alice

So proud to be a member of such an incredibly rewarding program. Our hard-working, dedicated, youths should be so proud of the way that they are representing the "future of tomorrow". I was especially impressed this evening with all the wonderful ideas that the youth delegates came up with from their "side meeting". GREAT JOB GANG!!!
