Purpose
The purpose of our groups is to improve our understanding of
other cultures, customs and languages
while creating lasting friendships and
having the opportunity to travel at a very modest cost. We accomplish this by exchanging visits with the various groups. When our group visits abroad,
we stay in the other group's homes and live and eat as they do. They plan trips and sightseeing tours for us and accompany us as interpreters and
guides. In turn, we then host the other groups in our homes and do the same for them.

General
Information
Although the home base of the Coventry Friendship
Link is in the Town of Coventry, Rhode Island, USA, it is not necessary that a member be a resident of Coventry. We are always interested in new members from the
local area (Scituate, West Warwick, Warwick, West Greenwich, and beyond). We would also like to create new links both in the U.S. and other countries. If you are interested in joining our group or starting up a link exchange group, please email us
at coventrylink@att.net.
