After a farewell to the home stay families in Richmond, including renewing a bond from Richmond students visiting Ishinomaki in 2014, it was on to Lake Fairfax Park to meet the DC host families for an ice cream party. Thank you to Akane Shirata of Camp O-en and the Keisho Japanese Heritage Center for arranging the home stays and activities in the Washington, DC area.
