2016 Mission Project
The APCC Mission Project is a chance for the children of Fukuoka to visit the countries and regions that have participated in the APCC, learn about unique cultures and languages, and build international friendships.
The Spring Mission Project will be hosted by Bhutan, Cambodia, China, Ipoh (Malaysia), Maldives, Singapore, and Tahiti. We hope all that Mission Project participants have a great time together and can strengthen their ties of friendship. |
