Kapiolani Community College Annual International Festival

This year marks the 22nd Annual International Festival at UH-KCC. The Festival was held this week from March 16-18 on campus. There were art displays, cultural presentations and other activities representing many international cultures.

Professor Linda Fujikawa and her students were busy during the International Gala. There was a fashion show highlighting the beautiful apparel of international countries. The students of Japanese Class 290 and 297 also displayed their presentations introducing the Japanese culture through art, music, food and activities. I have been told that these presentations are part of their grades. Taihen and yet quite impressive. I could tell that the students were thoroughly enjoying themselves. Here are some photos to prove it.
