Dear APCCのみなさま、
I can say I'm very proud of my 2017 JAs !
They were on their best behavior ( but not without some slight minor incidences am sure ) throughout the whole of this 2017 29th APCC , sharing their culture and gave their best on stage.
We all had a marvelous time filled with irreplaceable memories of Marine Camp life and Japanese home stay, not forgetting the grand royal audience by Mayor Shinohara sama himself and Mr. Nagaoka , Head of BOE at the Miyama-shi City Hall which was one great VIP treatment for 11yr old JAs, followed by a grand welcome dinner and cultural exchange dance.
Due to all the great effort rendered by the ever efficient APCC HO members and 24/7 volunteers who were always there and were very cooperative and took all the JAs' nonsense with a sweet smile . Thanks are due also to all the other 45 participating countries' JAs, PAs, chaperones, volunteers, Bridge club members , BCMM & BCIO members and to all who gave me a helping hand with full zest for pre- departure preparations to make this a successful trip although I am not able to thank each and everyone individually.
ありがとうございます。みなさんand to everyone we met as well …
I am sure all this experience will leave a memorable imprint in their young minds for life even after they settle back in their daily lives. お疲れさまでした。

【トンガ窓口（シャペロン）】
Thank you very much for everything that you had done to me and my JA. We finally made it home safely. My JA have learned well during the camp and most part of it was their time with their host families. They have enjoyed the warm and sincere hospitality of their host families. It was a marvellous time though they are now homesick thinking back to their various Kazoku there in Kandamachi. Send our sincere regards to all the staffs and families in Japan. Thanks Sepuloni Folau.

【ハワイ窓口（シャペロン）】
Our flight was delayed a couple hours due to mechanical issues but the Hawaii delegation safely arrived back in Hawaii a few hours ago. The families of the JAs greeted them and I am sure that they will want to take a nap soon. We will see the JAs again on Saturday, July 29 for our debriefing workshop and we will get to hear the stories of the JAs then.
We sincerely appreciate all the hard work you and your volunteers do to make this program possible and we hope to work together with you again next year.

Warm greeting from Hochiminh, Vietnam.
I am writing this email to inform you that all of our delegates reached home safely yesterday.
On behalf of JCI South Saigon, participated delegates and their families, I would like to express our sincere thanks to all of APCC staffs, volunteers, schools, and host families. It was such a great experience for us to learn from the dynamic multicultural and Japanese unique culture. Not to mention that we all were really touched by the warmness and love that everyone gave us. We truly enjoyed, respected and valued each of the moment we spent in Fukuoka.
