Our Japanese friends have begun their long journey home and should be in Dallas by now.
They certainly took a piece of my heart with them…
It was an honor to host all five educators.

As I said when I hugged them getting on the bus, “This is not good-bye, just see you later.”

Thank you to everyone who made their journey possible! I trust that it was equally hard on the student host families to let them go. Truly remarkable people who appreciated everything that Princeton and Gibson County offered them!

May God Speed their journey home… 🙏🏽😊🙏
