New Friends from the USA

Kanto Gakuin has been inviting international exchange students to participate in our campus life for many, many years. One of our oldest partnerships is with Linfield College in McMinnville, Oregon--another institution historically related to the American Baptist Churches, USA.

This year, we had 11 students from three different American universities (Linfield, University of Arkansas, and University of Minnesota) come to share the fall semester with us. These students study Japanese, learn about Japanese culture and religion, and get to make friends through a "buddy program."

This is a picture of this year's group, with some of their buddies. Let's pray that they have a great semester, full of new and enriching experiences.
