I’m pleased to share with you a thank you letter we received from the Edogawa ward Mayor Takeshi Saito, in regards to their 2025 student visit:
October 7th, 2025
To: Ms. Mayumi Miyahara
Executive Director
Hawaii Global Education Foundation
I hope this letter finds you in good health.
I’d like to express my gratitude for warmly welcoming the Tokyo Edogawa ward “Wings of Youth” delegation team to Hawaii.
I can’t appreciate you enough for all the hard work put into planning and organizing the study tour program.
The opportunity you provided for our students was truly extraordinary. Experiencing the lush nature and culture of Hawaii, meeting up with your college students, and the host families taking them in as their own, will all be treasured in each of their hearts and aid them in the years to come.
On September 7th, the students gave a presentation on their time in Honolulu, sharing with us their discoveries and achievements. I could see the students were enriched through their journey, as their confidence shone through their faces while recounting their trip. Parents and other participants shared high praise for the study tour alike.
The “Wings of Youth” delegation set off to become a bridge of friendship between our cities, and I hope they will continue this mission by expanding this circle of friendship around the globe.
In addition, the tasty treats you gifted us to take home was a true delight. We savored them while reminiscing the beautiful skies of Hawaii.
I wish you good heath, and a successful future for your city.
Thank you very much.
Sincerely yours:
Edogawa Ward Mayor
Takeshi Saito
