Australian charitable venture Mate Rock is sponsoring a visit to Western Australia for students from Iitate Village, Fukushima Prefecture, who were affected by Japan’s March 2011 disasters. The trip is also backed by Meat and Livestock Australia, and Australia-Japan Foundation. The students will partner with Great Southern Grammar school in Albany.
The goal? To provide a positive and inspiring experience and further strengthen Japan-Australia ties.
It gave us great pleasure to welcome you and your group to our home when you were in Western Australia recently. We find it so hard to comprehend the loss you and your community have suffered. Please always remember that Australians feel very deeply for you all. We have so enjoyed reading the " blog" about what you saw and did while in Perth and Albany, hopefully everyone will have very many happy memories of the time here. Martin and I would also like to say thank you for the gift of the book on your beautiful village.

先日飯舘村の皆様を西オーストラリアの滞在時に私たちの家にお招きすることができ、本当にとても嬉しかったですし、楽しい一時を過ごすことができました。
皆様そして、飯舘村の地域で震災時に受けた損失を私たちは理解することはとても難しいですが、どうか覚えていてください。オーストラリア人はいつも貴方のそばにいます。
今回のパースやアルバニーで見たことや経験したことについてのブログを私たちは大変楽しく拝見させていただきました。
皆様全員がここでたくさんの楽しい充実した思い出を作っていただけることを望んでいます。
また、皆様から素敵な飯舘村の本をいただきまして、合わせて本当にどうもありがとうございました。
