2019 Tribal Journeys Wrap Party


It was a pleasant, sunny afternoon, with a slight breeze bringing the hanging international flags to life. The weather cooperated to make the 2019 Tribal Journeys Wrap Party more enjoyable. Deputy Director Gary Smoke hosted the event at his rooftop offices in the Tienmu area of Taipei City.


Our volunteers were the first to gather, including Gary and Tony Coolidge, as well as Sylvia Dean, Perseus Kao, and Robert Fisch. Johan Coolidge came to share his experiences participating as a youth delegate in the 2019 Tribal Journeys program.


Guests arrived around 3:00 pm, and there was casual mingling and the opportunity to get to know each other. Around 4:30 pm, we were able to share our presentation to our guests. It was a good opportunity to share our progress with our supporters and to recruit new supporters. After the presentation, guests enjoyed food, drinks and more conversations.

Location: Taipei, Taiwan
