Yuki Kishimoto, student exchange program coordinator, said, \u201cWe want the students of Saipan to experience distant cultures and offer both Japan and Saipan students [a chance] to share a mutual understanding of one another.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cStudents are expected to make new friends as well as long-term relationships with the residents of Japan. The trip also promotes our island, thanks to the students doing a cultural\/traditional presentation during the farewell party.\u201d<\/p>\n
Luise Villagomez, Saipan Mayor’s Office staff, said, \u201cThe goal of the trip is to also keep relationship ties with Japan and Saipan going and promote overall goodwill. The students, in a sense, are basically heading there as friendship ambassadors.\u201d<\/p>\n
