The Saipan Mayor\u2019s Office is looking for participants for this year\u2019s Sanpo-En Winter Cultural Students Exchange Program.<\/p>\n
According to the mayor\u2019s student cultural exchange program coordinator Yuki Kishimoto, this year\u2019s trip is set for Feb. 3 to 9.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a Saipan cultural exchange program so we are looking for locals especially Chamorro or Carolinian students to represent the island,\u201d Kishimoto said. <\/p>\n
Interested participants must be 12 to 18 years old.<\/p>\n
The Mayor\u2019s Office is looking at about 12 student participants for this year\u2019s trip. Some chaperones from their office will also assist during the trip. <\/p>\n
Students who will participate will have to pay for their own airfare but other expenses will be shouldered by the cultural exchange group. <\/p>\n
\u201cSame as every year, the students will pay their own airfare but the accommodations in Japan such as transportation, meal, and lodging will be covered by the Sanpo-En group,\u201d Kishimoto said. <\/p>\n
Application forms can be picked up at the Mayor\u2019s Office or downloaded online through their website, www.saipanmayor.net.<\/p>\n
Kishimoto said the deadline for applications is on Jan. 13. <\/p>\n
