Thank you to the ten very generous familes (Allegretto, Karklins, Bousfield, Michalanney, Pratt, Arthur, Battle, Michael, Heaslip and May families) who are willing to open up their homes and lives to accomodate our visiting Japanese students from the Meiji University Nakano Hachioji High School. For some of these families this is the second time that they are hosting and we are very appreciative as this is a significant fundraiser for Balaklava High that has been running for over 20 years. We hope that hosting for the two weeks gives them a taste of Japan and an introduction to their culture and trust that they will enjoy showing their homestay student a little bit of ours.
