Weekly Update 12/10
Dear Members and Friends of JASH,
Applications are now available for the 33rd Annual Asian-Pacific Children’s Convention (APCC) in Fukuoka, Japan! JASH is honored to again serve as the Liaison Office for the Hawaii Delegation. The APCC is an annual global leadership program held in Fukuoka, Japan for over 200 students from over 50 regions throughout Asia and the Pacific.
JASH typically selects four students (two boys and two girls) as Junior Ambassadors (JAs) representing Hawaii. The APCC has graciously offered for our 2020 Junior Ambassadors (JAs) to transition into our 2021 delegation, as their APCC experience was cut short due to the coronavirus pandemic. As a result, this year, JASH is only selecting an additional 1 student (1 girl) born between August 1, 2009 and July 31, 2010 (10-11 years old) to complete our 2021 delegation. We do not have available positions for additional boy JAs this year.
We are accepting submissions online as well as via mail. Note that all materials must be received (not postmarked) by the JASH Office by Monday, January 4, 2021.
For more information and to apply, visit https://www.jashawaii.org/apcc.
