Meetings with Host Families

60名の海外デイゲイツがホストファミリーと対面しました。はじめは、お互いに緊張している組もありましたが、自己紹介などを行ううち、すぐに仲良くなり、みんな笑顔で８日の朝まで生活を共にするホームステイ先へ向かいました。

The 60 overseas delegates met their host families at the Rose-com on the afternoon of July 5th. Some of the delegates seemed a little nervous at the beginning, but they quickly broke the ice through self-introductions and befriended their new family members. All the oversea delegates left with their host families to their home in Fukuyama where they’ll be spending time with their Japanese families until the morning of the 8th.

Excursion to Hiroshimaホームステイ中の７月６日、希望者は厳島神社（宮島）・広島平和記念公園へ行きました。世界遺産にも登録されている宮島の古き良き歴史の一端を見て頂く事で日本の素晴らしさを感じてもらいました。また、広島平和記念公園を訪問することで、海外デリゲイツの世界平和の実現に向けた意識の向上が図れる機会となりました。

福山市内５つの小学校で、児童たちが海外デリゲイツたちをもてなす「学校訪問プログラム」が開催されました。各校ハイタッチや花のアーチなどでデリゲイツを温かく出迎え、太鼓や琴の演奏の披露など各校工夫をこらして心のこもった「おもてなし」をしました。餅つき体験や着物を着ての撮影会、日本の伝統的な遊び、給食や掃除の時間を共に過ごしたことがデリゲイツにも思い出深い経験になったことでしょう。最後には記念のばら植樹やお別れセレモニーを行い、児童たちはいつしかの再会を誓い合いました。お別れの時には感動のあまり涙を流す子どもも見られました。海外デリゲイツとの交流は、受け入れた各小学校の生徒や家族に普段は関心をもつことのむずかしい海外に目を向けるこの上ない機会となりました。（→別刷り特集号につづく）
