Opening ceremony for Micronesia Photo Exhibition “Pacific Light” in Amacho

November 3rd coincides with The Federated States of Micronesia’s Independence Day, and was not incidentally the start of the Micronesia Photo Exhibit. The Dozen Islands, or the three towns selected to host the photo exhibition, are the host towns for the 2020 Olympic Micronesian team, and on the same day a memorial ceremony was held in Amacho to celebrate. Sponsors of the photo exhibition hope that the photos will help excite residents of the town about the upcoming Olympics. A total of 15 people, including the mayor of Nishinoshima, Mr. Masutani, mayor of Amacho Mr. Oe, mayor of Chibu Mr. Hiraki, Mr. Minoda, President of the “Classical Music for 1 Million People” foundation, who also supports the Dozen Islands, along with the performers and other guests attended the ceremony. The ceremony took place at the exhibition hall, the Kinnyamonya Center, right at the mouth of the Amacho Hishiura Port Ferry Terminal.
