Two new students are spending valuable days at the Sendai YMCA Hotel College. We have new students' video messages from the start of their school year. Both students graduated Ishinomaki High School and are very good students pursuing their dream to be pastry chefs (patissieres). Ayuka, who lost her mother in the disaster, tells of her dream, which her mother helped her with, to become a patissiere. Ikumi 's family lost their business after the tsunami and she plans to be a first class patissiere after her two years of study. She hopes to put a smile on customers' faces with her cakes. Please view their messages.
The two first year students and two second year students are now having internship training.
The Sendai YMCA President, Kato-san, reports the really amazing news that Kyoka, one of the second year students, will have a job with the Imperial Hotel after she graduates next year. The Imperial Hotel in Tokyo is one of the most prestigious hotels in Japan.
Kato-san is spending lots of hours visiting high schools to recruit new students for next year as usual. He tells teachers "the result of the scholarship students and asks them to tell their students to use our scholarship and not to give up their future."
Thank you all again for making this possible!
