On June 15th (Thursday), the Youth Ambassadors said their farewells to Chiba City, their host families, and the principal of Chiba Municipal Inage Junior High School before heading to Haneda Airport.
The group enjoyed a few final moments on the streets of Edo (Edo Koji and Haneda Nihonbashi) at Haneda before boarding their plane and returning to Houston.
Upon arrival at George Bush Intercontinental Airport, the group was met by JASH representatives before receiving a warm welcome from family and friends at River Oaks Baptist School.
We are grateful to Chiba City, the Chiba City International Association, Chiba Municipal Inage Junior High School, and the host families for making the return of the Houston-Chiba Sister Cities Youth Ambassador Program possible.
The 2023 Youth Ambassadors had an experience of a lifetime!
