Whereas, during this period of time, these students and their accompanying faculty, parents, and other chaperones will be traveling all over South Carolina and performing in numerous settings; and
Whereas, this program provides many positive learning experiences and presents opportunities for the participants from both countries to enjoy cultural exchanges that otherwise might not be available to them; and
