Remembering Mieko Yamashita

Remembering Mieko Yamashita in photographs spanning from 2003 to 2012. Some of Mieko san's many gifts and contributions to the World Friendship Center ( WFC) programs and activities are captured in this short series. Former Directors will remember her as one of the longest serving "anchors" of WFC covering a wide range of challenges and opportunities. Her beauty,genuine smile, compassion, charm, poise, passion for education and learning, artistic expression and contributions, contagious laugh and wit, organizational and ambassador role skills - all of those and more made her a versatile friend and admired by so many. She will truly be missed as well as remembered.
