ROTARY CLUBS INVITE STUDENTS TO TRAVEL IN JAPAN

The Rotary Clubs in this area are looking for 28 students to represent the region in a cultural exchange with Japan.

The Ross Redmond Short Term Youth Exchange Program, now in its 38th year, offers students ages 16 to 19 the opportunity to learn about Japanese culture, interact with Japanese students, and "form friendships that will last a lifetime," said Jim Allison, the program's chairman.

The three-week trip, tentatively departing on Friday, June 30, and returning on Friday, July 21, will include visits to major cities in southern Japan, including Osaka, Kyoto and Nara.

There also will be a separate trip to Hiroshima to visit Peace Memorial Park and the Holocaust Museum.

Host Families

The group will stay on the island of Shikoku, the smallest of the four main islands in Japan. During the course of the trip, each student will meet and live with four host families in each of the island's four prefectures.

The total cost of the trip, including food, lodging and airfare, is $3,000. Students, who must live or attend school within Rotary District 7470 -- which encompasses Morris, Essex, Sussex and Warren counties -- are selected through an interview process that occurs during February and March.

Applications are being accepted until Wednesday, March 15. To apply, visit the Rotary District 7470 website for the Japan exchange at http://rrstye.rotarydistrict7470.org/.

For information, contact Ross Redmond Short Term Youth Exchange Chairman Jim Allison at [email protected] or (201) 213-6382.
