Pictures on this page include our time at the various Hanno Junior High schools, our chaperones having a meal with those who came to Brea in January, and the farewell dinner.

Although this has been a wonderful trip, we look forward to being back in Brea soon.

A Letter from Ronna Voisan:

Hanno Trip 2007 Let me just say what a wonderful group of students we took to Hanno this year! The Hanno City staff even commented on how good the kids listened to their instructions and were so well mannered. Thank you students for representing our city and our country so well! We made lasting friendships with so many people and I know it is an experience that will stay with us forever. My co- chaperone, Kelly Williamson was a delight to have on the trip, she got along so well with the kids and took a zillion pictures! We had a great time with our host families as well. Mike James, Farah Cho, and Tina Lim were the stand out leaders of the group and were very good examples for the other students. Joshua Hopps was the favorite with the Hanno girls and received so many gifts, he had to pay for the extra weight of his luggage. Samantha Heath and I spent an afternoon at the hospital for a case of Bronchitis, where we posed for a picture with the Brea Progress (they publish pictures of travelers in the paper when you send them in.) Albert (MoMo) Dang was our comic relief and everyone loved Jessica Pruitt's long hair. Corey Williamson and David Lutz were our two redheads, who attracted a lot of attention and were so well mannered. Kyle Shintaku, who is normally very shy, really let his hair down and had a good time. It seemed like Tucker Singletary always had a smile on his face, while Aaron Finch and Colin Dolmat where more intent on taking everything in and not missing a thing. Kassey Clark bought more stuff than anyone, I think she got one of everything she could find. Brian Laverty was so full of enthusiasm it was contagious and Kelli Shiroma, who is also a shy one, really opened up and showed her fun side. Lastly, Larissa Marcano, the youngest student on the trip got to live her dream which was the best gift of all! Thank you all for a great trip and to all of our host families and friends in Hanno we say, Domo Arigato Gozaimas!!!!!
