Summer HS Exchange and Donation Matching Day July 18th

2017 Exchange Students and Washington DC Hosts

High School Summer Exchange

We have six Ishinomaki high school exchange students chaperoned by one of Taylor’s former students visiting Richmond, VA and Washington, DC August 7^th to 13^th. We worked with the Ishinomaki Board of Education to have students apply with written essays. They told us of their hopes and dreams of visiting America and we are very excited to have them visit! They will be staying with host families in each location and we look forward to reporting results in our next update.
