March 10, 2010 JOHNS CREEK - Wilson Creek fifth grade student Emma Rowe was one of four Georgia students selected to travel to Japan to participate in the 22nd Annual Asian-Pacific Children's Conference in Fukuoka, Japan. Two boys and two girls were chosen from the state of Georgia to be Junior Ambassadors.
The conference is sponsored by the non-profit Japan-America Society of Georgia, whose mission is to promote the mutual understanding of the people of Japan and Georgia. The objectives of the Asian-Pacific Children's Conference are to generate appreciation for the culture of other nations and regions; promote mutual understanding and friendship; and nurture international awareness in the region through young people.
To be eligible for a student delegate position, Rowe had to write an essay on why she would make a good junior ambassador.
She also had to create a drawing that represented the theme of the conference, and submit a confidential letter of recommendation, as well as an application form. Wilson Creek Art Teacher Izzy Bush advised Rowe on her artwork and wrote Rowe's letter of recommendation.
