15 young adults representing various clubs experienced Okinawa as few ever get to see it - visiting historic sites, cooking and tasting popular Uchinanchu foods, immersing themselves in the culture, learning Eisa and Kachashi, home staying with families, and for some, evening finding and connecting with long lost relatives. The support of Okinawa Governor Nakaima and his team at the Okinawan Prefectural Government was overwhelming. The HUOA leadership group was treated royally for five days, traveling in an escorted OPG bus. The cost of participating in this very special program is split 1/3 by the participant's club, 1/3 by HUOA and 1/3 by the individual.
