Genoa Loertscher: ASIA Kakehashi Project

Earlier this school year Capital High School senior Genoa Loertscher was awarded a full-scholarship to Japan for 4-months as he was one of two students from the United States (and 59 students selected from across the globe) chosen to participate in the ASIA Kakehashi Project, "Building bridges between high school students in Japan and Asia/G7 member countries".
The program provides full scholarships from the Japanese Government for high school students to live and study in Japan, while growing their global competence and becoming future leaders.
Genoa is now back stateside and we had an opportunity to sit down with him to find out more about his unique experiences while living in Japan. We hope you enjoy this video and congratulations Genoa on such a remarkable accomplishment. A big shout-out to the Japanese language program at Capital High School for helping make this dream trip a reality!
