Vallejo Fall 2026 Delegation Trip to Bagamoyo, Tanzania Monthly Planning Meeting

The Vallejo Sister City Association (VSCA) is thrilled to announce plans for an exciting international delegation to our sister city of Bagamoyo, Tanzania, scheduled for fall 2026. Community members are invited to be part of this once-in-a-lifetime cultural exchange experience – and the journey begins now.
Rooted in VSCA’s mission to promote peace through mutual respect, understanding, and cooperation – one individual, one community at a time – this delegation allows participants to build meaningful global relationships through person-to-person diplomacy.
Bagamoyo, a historic coastal town known for its rich cultural heritage, vibrant arts scene, and warm hospitality, has long been a valued sister city partner. The fall 2026 delegation will focus on cultural exchange, educational collaboration, youth engagement, and strengthening economic and community ties between our cities. Planned activities include meetings with local leaders, school visits, cultural performances, historical tours, and community service opportunities.
“This is more than a trip – it’s an opportunity to represent our community abroad and deepen friendships that foster global understanding,” said a VSCA delegation organizer. “We welcome residents, educators, artists, business leaders, students and families who are interested in being cultural ambassadors.”
Join the Planning Process
VSCA invites interested community members to go to monthly delegation planning meetings, held on the first Sunday of each month. The meetings will be held from 2-3:30 p.m. in the Vallejo Sister City Room at JFK Library. These meetings provide important information about:
• Travel itinerary and timeline
• Cultural preparation and expectations
• Fundraising opportunities
• Youth and student participation
• Partnership and exchange initiatives
Whether you are ready to commit or curious to learn more, your participation in the planning process is encouraged.
By joining the delegation, participants will not only explore the beauty and history of Bagamoyo but also contribute to strengthening the bridge between Vallejo and Tanzania for generations to come.
For more information about the fall 2026 Delegation to Bagamoyo and upcoming meeting details, community members are encouraged to go to the next planning session on the first Sunday of the month.
Together, we continue building global friendships – one community at a time.
