KONISHIKI Kids in Japan 2001

With a lot of support and cooperation, we were able to realize the 4th KONISHIKI KID PROGRAM this year. During the childrens one week stay, they experienced Japanese culture and have made a lot of friends. The 35 children have come from Leeward Coast, a small town along the coast in Hawaii. We wonder what they have learned and felt in this country as it is so different to theirs. Let's chase their footprints by looking at some of the pictures.
