The U.S. Embassy in Tokyo on Friday announced educational programs supported by Japanese and U.S. companies for students in disaster-hit areas in northeastern Japan.
One of the programs, which are part of the U.S. "Tomodachi," or friends, postdisaster relief, allows up to 300 high school students from disaster areas to study global leadership and community service at the University of California, Berkley for three weeks with the support from Softbank Corp.
In a different summer program, supported by Coca-Cola (Japan) Co., 180 high school students in disaster areas will be invited over the next three years to stay in the United States with local families, study English and visit various places across the country at the company's expense, including air fares.
