On July 7th, 2005 eight teens from Northern Ireland were invited as the first personal guests to the Los Angeles residence of the British Consulate General, Bob Peirce. On this very emotional morning, peace and friendship was the focus as the teens shared this incredible experience together. The teens spent time getting to know each other as well as sharing their feelings and concerns about the recent tragedy in London. Mr. Peirce addressed the events of the morning and reassured the the teens ... of the precautions the government was taking to secure the country and the importance of their participation in C.F.P.N.I.

 
The Teens and their host families enjoyed lunch with Sharon Harroun (former CFPNI Chairman), Andrew Lewis (Head of UK Trade and Investment in Los Angeles), Dennis Storer (Chairman Spirit of Youth), and Teens from the Spirit of Youth. The Spirit of Youth is a Los Angeles based, non-profit organization, that provides inner city youth an opportunity to travel to the UK on a leadership development program.
