Cindy Kojima, with support from Masahiro, once again chaired the Moriyama Japan Student Exchange. Thank you!  Both Katelyn and Kara Burns were on hand to share their experiences traveling abroad and hosting the Japanese students here at home.  Enticed by her sister, Katelyn’s, experience in 2012 Kara participated in 2014.  It was interesting to hear them speak about it because there was a common theme. 
 
Obviously, the site seeing was remarkable, but more importantly they described the experience with these comments: “Life Changing”, “People are People wherever you go” & “New life-long friendships”.  Everyone involved offered a big thanks to our Rotary Club for funding the trip to Hiroshima which is a highlight of their trip.
