We are pleased to report that since graduation from the Sendai YMCA International Hotel and Pastry School in March Yushi got a job at the new Vista Hotel (http://www.hotel-vista.jp/sendai/) in Sendai which will open this summer. He will be a part of the opening staff. Ikumi has started her job at the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo so we are pleased that both were able to start their careers with good jobs.
We have two new students who have received scholarships. Chinami is from Ishinomaki and is studying in the Omotenashi Department. Omotenashi means Japanese hospitality. The Sendai YMCA College has this department for Japanese students who learn Japanese hospitality for guests from abroad and for foreign students who want to work at hospitality business in Japan. Fuka is from Watari and is studying in the Hotel Department. Both Fuka and Chinami’s houses were severely damaged in the coastal Miyagi towns of Ishinomaki and Watari which were heavily affected by the disaster.
Ayaka and Ikumi successfully completed their first year and are now second year students at the Hotel Department Pastry Course. Both are focusing on preparing for employment when they graduate in March.
Please view and enjoy the messages from the students. Your donations are why they are able to study and share them and it has made such a big difference in their lives!
