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 [email protected] 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。

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
