The Rotary Club of Artesia/Cerritos welcomed students from the ABC Unified School District who visited Japan. The program is sponsored by the ABC Unified School District with strong support from our Rotary Club. Seven students visited Kakamigahara in Central Japan. Both the school district and Rotary Club have very strong ties with this area in Japan. Several students each year spend up to 10 days visiting other students in Japan, attend their school, learn about Japanese culture, and even stay in the homes of host families. The students also do sightseeing in a major metropolitan area such as Tokyo.
The trip this year was from June 26 to July 5th. The students who went were Kemi Jhun, Van Ahn Tran, Veronica Williams, Joana Acorda, Nathaniel Taniguchi, Jessica Kanemaru, and Alma Luquin. Mrs. Susan Wu, a teacher at Gahr High School, escorted them. On Monday, July 19th, each of the students and Mrs. Wu visited the Rotary Club to report about their trip, show all their pictures, and thank those involved for making such a wonderful experience possible. Parents, other ABC officials, and many club members were in attendance. For more information on the Rotary, contact Dr. Steve Sherman at 562 926-1097.
