Fostering Hawaii-Hiroshima Peacebuilders: 2024 Hiroshima Peace Scholarship Delegates Prepare for Hiroshima
Since their selection this spring, our 2024 Hiroshima Peace Scholarship (HPS) scholars Mia Takahashi (Hawaii Baptist Academy) and Charles Reid-Selth (Radford High School) and Ms. Jodie Chock (Kalaheo High School) have been busily preparing for their 10-day trip to Hiroshima. As part of their preparations for their summer study trip, the delegates have attended the Hiroshima Heiwa Scholarship (HHS) program, charity walk, and monthly educational workshops. They have developed friendships with Peace Scholars from Hiroshima and Hawaii and learned about the history of World War II in the US and Japan; practiced how to share their perspectives to the media; and worked on research projects that they will present in Hiroshima.
