OAA Vice President Hiro Tome met with Okinawa Prefectural Government staff and Okinawa NGO Center staff to discuss the upcoming homestay program in Los Angeles! Click link in bio for a tentative schedule of opportunities to meet the Okinawan students. 先日事務局は、北米沖縄県人会の当銘さんと現地カリフォルニアでのプログラムについてミーティングをしました🇺🇸 北米沖縄県人会では、海邦養秀のために実行委員会を立ち上げ、そして受け入れ期間中には、沖縄の学生が県人会の方々と交流を深められるように、様々なプログラムを準備してくださっています✨ 打ち合わせでは、プログラムだけではなく、派遣学生の姿勢について、そして彼らの将来像についてもお話ししました。今週末はいよいよ宿泊研修です！当銘さんはじめ、今回のプログラムをサポートしてくださる、北米沖縄県人会の方々の想いもしっかり受け止め、頑張りましょう♫ 当銘さん、帰沖中の貴重なお時間ありがとうございました😊 #okinawaassociationofamerica

CALLING ALL DANCERS • The OAA is looking for people to join us in the Nisei Week Grand Parade on August 12, 2018 in Little Tokyo, Downtown Los Angeles! Practices for the parade will be held in Gardena, Orange County, Palmdale, and Oceanside, CA. There will be two dance choreographies. For safety precautions, please note that the parade route is approx. 3 long blocks. Flag holders and water assistants are also needed. Please contact the OAA for more info or to sign up: (310) 532-1929 or oaamensore@gmail.com #okinawaassociationofamerica #kenjinkai #okinawa #uchinanchu #uchinaanchu #uchinaa #うちな #Ryukyu #沖縄 #nonprofit #ウチナーンチュ #うちなーんちゅ #県人会 #niseiweek #niseiweekparade #niseiweekparade2018

For those who have already enrolled in the Amazon Smile donation program and selected the OAA as your charitable organization: Today is Amazon Prime Day which means great deals (for Prime users) AND you'll be supporting the OAA simply by doing your routine shopping! http://smile.amazon.com/ch/95-4490174 In the first quarter of 2018, OAA supporters generated approx. $50 in donations – nifee deebiru (thank you)! Enrollment is free. The more families and friends who enroll = the more donations every quarter. The OAA depends on volunteers and donations in order to organize our yearly cultural activities as well as for much needed maintenance and repairs of our facilities. #okinawaassociationofamerica #kenjinkai #okinawa #uchinanchu #uchinaanchu #uchinaa #うちな #Ryukyu #沖縄 #nonprofit #ウチナーンチュ #うちなーんちゅ #県人会

The OAA Picnic is finally here! Remember to share your experience using #oaapicnic2018 If you are able to spare a few hours and lend a hand at the picnic or back at the OAA after the picnic, we would greatly appreciate it! Also, Google DOES NOT provide an accurate map location for Whittier Narrows Recreation Park, AREA E-1 (entering the address will automatically take you to the "area D parking lot"). Please refer to the map in the carousel of pics for more accurate directions to Area E-1. We will also have signs posted. #okinawaassociationofamerica #kenjinkai #okinawa #uchinanchu #uchinaanchu #uchinaa #うちな #Ryukyu #沖縄 #nonprofit #ウチナーンチュ #うちなーんちゅ #県人会 #oaapicnic #OkinawanBonDance #bonodori #TiiUdui #teodori #dance

Ippee nifee deebiru (thank you very much) to the volunteers who helped us load the truck this morning! We will be at the park bright and early on Sunday morning, setting up from 7 AM. 😴 If you are able to spare a few hours and lend a hand, we would greatly appreciate it. #okinawaassociationofamerica #kenjinkai #okinawa #uchinanchu #uchinaanchu #uchinaa #うちな #Ryukyu #沖縄 #nonprofit #ウチナーンチュ #うちなーんちゅ #県人会 #oaapicnic #oaapicnic2018 #volunteers #volunteer
