Another BRIE summer has come to a close, and we are incredibly grateful for everyone who makes this experience possible year after year.
To our host families, thank you for opening your hearts and your homes and welcoming our Japanese delegates as part of your families.
To our host siblings, you were absolute rock stars at camp and beyond! Thank you for jumping in, building friendships, sharing your lives, and helping create memories that will last far beyond this summer.
To our wonderful partners at LABO, thank you for your friendship, trust, and continued partnership. We treasure the connection between our communities and the opportunity to bring our cultures together.
And to our volunteers, supporters, and community, thank you for showing up, pitching in, and believing in what BRIE does. So many hands and hearts work behind the scenes to make this experience happen.
Every friendship formed, every laugh shared, every new experience, and every bridge built between Utah and Japan happens because of all of you.
We truly couldn't do it without you.
ありがとう! 🇯🇵💚🇺🇸
