Sustainable Development Exchange
August, 2011
Sebastopol World Friends has been selected to receive funding from the “Leading Asia: Renewing U.S. and Japan Sister City Networks.” This award is a tribute to the work and dedication of SWF volunteers and our community for efforts in fostering and strengthening cooperation and understanding between our city and Japanese Sister City – Yamauchi, and now Takeo City. With this funding, SWF will send a delegation to Takeo City, Japan, in November of this year with the goal of sharing best practices in Sustainable Development. Other goals are to establish ongoing communication about sustainability between the two cities, and brainstorm sustainability programs that can involve youth.
