Japanese Ready for March Visit to U.S.!

2/4/2016

Spring will soon be here along with a 21 member delegation from Newport News’ oldest Sister City, Neyagawa (Osaka) Japan. The mixed delegation (14 youth and 7 adults) will arrive March 24 and depart March 30. Sister Cities is thrilled to have several local families serve as “Homestay Hosts” for the delegates.

The delegation (pictured left) is currently preparing for their visit and will make a presentation during their stay at Woodside High.

Several youth delegates (15-19 years old) still need housing. Hosting a student is a wonderful opportunity for those interested in Japanese anime or language, as well as those eager to expand their world internationally. Students and families interested in hosting a student can call 757.926.1348 or email info@sistercities-nn.com for more details.
 
The attached picture of the delegation came with this greeting from the organizing body, NIEFA (Neyagawa International Exchange and Friendship Association):
 

先週末、ニューポートニューズ市民訪問団の結団式および壮行会を開催致しました。
その際の、記念写真を添付いたします。
Last weekend, we held the formal ceremony for the formation of our delegation bound for Newport News.  I have attached a picture from the event.

Pictured are the members of the delegation, NIEFA’s chairman, as well as the Mayor, Deputy Mayor and Director of Neyagawa City.

訪問団員は、大勢の方から激励を受け、決意も新たに訪問の日を待ちわびています。
With heightened enthusiasm, we look forward to our upcoming visit.

それでは、またご連絡を頂くのをお待ちしております。
どうぞよろしくお願い致します。
We also look forward to further communication from you.
Thank you
