Columbus Wilson III serves a ping pong ball to Yujiro Murakami Jan. 11 at the Camp Foster Youth Center. Murakami, along with 23 other students from Oshima Island’s elementary and middle schools, are visiting Okinawa as part of a four-day youth cultural exchange and homestay program. “We were invited by the Marine Corps to come to Okinawa the year after the disaster,” said Hironobu Sugawara. “Last time, we had 25 children visit, and we want to keep the ties between us and the Marines strong.” Murakami is an 11-year-old fifth-grade student from Oshima, and Wilson is a program assistant at the Camp Foster Youth Center. Sugawara is the homestay program manager and Oshima City Assembly member. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Daniel E. Valle/Released)
