Notre Dame High School (NDSJ) has a sister school, Notre Dame Seishin Gakuen, in Kurashiki, Japan which is near Okayama city. Both schools were founded by Saint Julie Billiart over 150 years ago.
In early January '09, a parent of Notre Dame brought a message from the San Jose - Okayama Sister City group meeting to Mrs. Riley that there is a sponsorship for someone involved with the community in San Jose to visit Japan. Mrs. Riley is interested in this opportunity and she shared it with me. She sent an email to Mr. Green, the Secretary/Treasurer of the San Jose-Okayama Sister City group, to tell him that Notre Dame is investigating and developing an exchange relationship with a school in the area and knowing more about the area and how students from there might adjust to San Jose downtown environment that Notre Dame is in would be very beneficial. Mr. Green replied promptly and suggested that I contact his wife directly. Mrs. Green (Kazuko) and I had a brief conversation over the phone on January 14. I talked about my trip proposal.
I am invited to attend the monthly group meeting on February 2.
