JAL Scholarship Messages from Host families
We visited places including the National Museum.
The scholar also came with me to cheer at my children’s basketball
game. We had lunch at a rotating sushi store and had shabu-shabu
and tako-yaki for dinner at home. We had some wonderful conversations
whilst looking at photos using the computer. On the last day
we visited a shopping center.
The scholar was very cheerful and positive, and was very kind
to the children. My children found it very difficult to part
with her. She was very studious and actively tried to communicate
with the children by writing and drawing. It was very inspirational
for us to see the scholar learn Japanese words whilst with
us. I was touched by the way in which she was always happy
and amiable. (Tokyo)
This year was the first time we participated
in the host family program. We spent our time by having a
home party with other local host families, and visited the
Kenroku-en garden in the heat of summer. And before we know
it, the three days were over. We enjoyed the international
exchange festival and were inspired by the smiling energetic
faces of the students. (Ishikawa)
