Journey from the MidWest to the MidEast ...

The Indianapolis-based International Interfaith Initiative (III), in collaboration with the Village Experience, led a trip of a diverse group (including representatives from Jewish, Muslim, Catholic, Evangelical, and Hindu religious communities) to the Middle East from December 27, 2009 to January 9, 2010. It was a follow-up to the very successful III Mideast trip of 2008. Read about the adventure on this blog. Look for partnership opportunities for your group at www.internationalinterfaith.org ... and be part of the next trip from Indy to the MidEast.

From the 2008 Trip: Safe Arrival in Amman















Marhaba from Amman, Jordan! The entire team has arrived safely, with baggage and all is well! After a relaxing dinner at the hotel this evening, the team is anxious for tomorrow's Habitat orientation and the start of construction. We'll add more soon but good night for now!
