What is THIS for Diplomats?

THIS for Diplomats, formerly known as The Hospitality and Information Service, is a dynamic, non-profit volunteer organization which welcomes and assists diplomats and their families during their stay in Washington, DC.  THIS has no political or religious affiliations.  We believe that mutual  understanding among nations is vital to advocating peace, tolerance, and prosperity.  Our volunteers promote friendship and foster stronger ties with nations around the world.

"The really crucial link in the international communication chain is the last three feet, which is bridged by personal contact, one person talking to another."
Edward R. Murrow,
American Journalist

"THIS is a fantastic organization! When a diplomat arrives in a new country without friends or family, finding a group like THIS is a tremendous help. The volunteers are friendly, the programs varied and interesting, and I have always thoroughly enjoyed the time I have spent in the company of both the American volunteers and the international members."
