I am unconditionally thankful and I can't wait to give my best effort to make our sisters feel at home and to provide them a very fulfilling time. Thank you.」 ●Nekayla-san Hello everyone ! I hope all of you are doing well. First of all I would like to thank the city of Odawara, OIFA and all the families who made this program possible. These past two weeks in Japan were filled with great experience with great people. Although it was difficult communicating it was all worth it, in the end. It deeply saddens me that we all depart tomorrow for Chula Vista. We will leave with unforgettable memories and I hope to create new memories in the two weeks to come. Thank you all again for supporting this program and I hope we keep in touch.」 ●Raymond-san 「Thank you to everyone who made this trip possible and thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedules to help us get where and what we needed.
