A Thank-You to our Sendai YoungAmbassadors Host Families!Recently, the 2019 Sendai Young Ambassadors arrivedin Dallas for an intensive cultural immersion programwhere they participated in a homestay with a U.S. family,visited multinational corporations like Toyota NorthAmerica, and even saw a Texas Rangers game.
“This program was a rare opportunity for me to be ableto change myself.” - Yuha Chiba (17)
“Participating in the Young Ambassadors programexpanded my horizons about the greater world beyondJapan.” - Ken Yoshida (15)

They are also now a link in the unbreakablebond between the people of the DFW Metroplex andSendai in the Tohoku region. For the host families, theygraciously opened both their homes and hearts to ourvisitors from Japan and we will always remember theirkindness in support of people-to-people relations.
