Mid School Year Video Updates from Ten Taylor Scholarship Students

Kato-san, The President of the Sendai YMCA International Hotel and Pastry School, shares mid-year video updates from ten Taylor Scholarship students. All students are intensely studying English and their success is on display in their video messages! They tell us of their dreams, English exam results, studying for licenses, internships and jobs after graduation!

All of the students need scholarships to attend the Sendai YMCA International Hotel and Pastry School because of hardships caused by the 2011 Japan Earthquake and Tsunami. The Sendai YMCA and TAMF provide these scholarships jointly. Please watch the video messages at the links below. We thank you for watching!
