5 high school students (2 girls, 3 boys) from Sakai visited Berkeley for 5 days from July 28 to August 2, 2017. This is the 2nd student exchange in this new relationship between the cities, harkening back to the original student exchanges from 50 years ago – very fitting for the 50th Anniversary of the sister-city relationship. Both cities are fully behind these new student exchanges both from the sister city associations as well as the city governments.
