On this trip, Emily Sensei brought 30 uniforms for the Bilay House children’s choir. These uniforms were provided through a spring fundraising seminar instructed by Homma Kancho at Nippon Kan General Headquarters in Denver. Emily taught the children English through games and everyone had a great time! Thank you!
