Students in the Advanced Nihongo Program participated in the Virtual Cultural Exchange Event hosted by JASH (Japan-America Society of Hawaii). They spent many weeks preparing to share various topics such as "schools" "food" "sports" and "tour spots" with 35 fifth grade students in Nagaoka Fuzoku Elementary School.
