The Times - Serving Waitsburg, Dayton and the Touchet Valley

The WallaWalla-Sasaya­ma Sister City Affiliation Committee coordinates two week student home stays for Sasayama, Japan students in Walla Walla in March/April and facilitates two-week trips for area students to visit Japan in October.

Prepara­tions for each exchange be­gin several months prior.
