LIMA, OH (WLIO) - The Lima Sister Cities Association is celebrating a 25-year relationship with Harima-cho, Japan.
They are looking for old photos, videos, and even some short letters either from trips to Japan or from people hosting representatives of Harima-cho here in Lima.
To help mark the quarter century of friendship and collaboration, the organization is starting a large project to document the history of the sister city partnership. They are looking for old photos, videos, and even some short letters either from trips to Japan or from people hosting representatives of Harima-cho here in Lima. The project will not only show the cultural exchange between the two cities but also the growth of the program over the last two decades.

"In the beginning, it was usually just a day here, a day there. So, when we go over it was just a short trip; it was just a couple of days visiting their city. And now we have enlarged it to a larger cultural experience for your youth. So, the last time we went, we almost went two weeks. We visited Tokyo, Hiroshima, Osaka, and all these historical and special spots in Japan," says Matthew Neeley, president of the Lima Sister Cities Association.
To contribute, you can contact the Lima Sister Cities Association through their website at https://limasistercities.godaddysites.com/. If you have physical pictures, they will scan them and get them back to you. Once the project is collected, they will share it with officials from Harima-cho.
