"We had an extra special visit of students from Nagasaki that have been busy gathering 10,000+ signatures encouraging world leaders to strive for peace and end the use of nuclear weapons of mass destruction. Also, to those same students, a letter from students of Nawahiokalani’opu’u was presented. This is a letter written in Hawaiian through kanji characters. They were overjoyed to receive and read though the letter. The ties of friendship between Hawai’I and Japan seem to be growing stronger every day."
