Students from Hawaii who were impacted by the wildfires on Maui traveled 4,000 miles to Japan to learn from the community there how residents recovered from their own devastating disaster. Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has helped fund a program called "Kibou for Maui," which is being implemented by the U.S.-Japan Council. The program aims to engage, inspire and empower the youth affected by the Lahaina wildfires that tore through the area in August 2023.
