This program is designed to provide support to high school students directly affected by the devastating wildfire in Maui that occurred in August 2023. They will visit Higashi-Matsushima City in Miyagi Prefecture for a week-long trip (March 18-24), where they will build connections with Japanese peers who have actively contributed to the recovery efforts after the 2011 disaster in Tohoku and engage in training and hands-on workshops aimed at equipping them with essential skills for contributing to the physical, mental and spiritual rehabilitation of their communities. Over the past weekend, the students participated in a pre-departure orientation where they underwent team-building exercises to prepare them for the trip.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The TOMODACHI Kibou for Maui Program is administered by the U.S.-Japan Council and the TOMODACHI Initiative, in partnership with the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jcchawaii.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Japanese Cultural Center of Hawai\u2019i<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.odysseynaturejapan.com\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ODYSSEY Nature Japan<\/a>.
