Greetings from Awaji Island and... ... Photos Are Up!
We arrived on Awaji Island last evening where we were very warmly welcomed with a grand reception. At the reception were the Mayor of Awaji City, Principal of Osaki Elementary School and other government/education officials. The children were then introduced to their host families and spent their first night with them. This morning, we met in Osaki Elementary School, where many activities have been arranged for our Riverlites and their Japanese pupils. The photos which I'm sure many of you are eagerly waiting for have been posted. They are available here: http://picasaweb.google.com/jerry.cksoh Currently, they are organised by their dates. I'll try to add some simple captions if internet access and time are more available. By the way, I'm posting the photos through the kind courtesy of Osaki's principal from an internet access point in his office! Do stay tuned for more updates and photos!

Finally....we get to see and "feel" what's happening in Japan and how the hosts to our children looks like. It may be tiring with all the travelling but the children are enjoying themselves for sure. Thks to Mr Yeo for making this possible & the teachers for their sacrifices & care for the children during this memorable journey.
Warm Wishes,
Desirene's Parents
Thanks Mr Yeo & all for the photos & updates. I can appreciate the kind of experience they are going through better now. Such enriching programme covers beyond school curriculum and also much of the children's quick adaptation to the totally new environment and their boldness to socialise even in foreign land... Think that all the children have gained much from this programme.
Children - Please cope well, enjoy and appreciate it.
Best regards,
Rachel's Parents

Glad to hear that you all have reached Awaji! I'm sure the first night with the host family was a little tough and memorable for them! Thanks for the updates, especially those pictures! I've been waiting for days for the pictures to be uploaded.
