INDIGO Sangster, 11, from The Patch Primary School has been selected as one of six children from Australia to be a Junior Ambassador and attend the Asia Pacific Children’s Conference in Fukuoka, Japan, on 8 July for 14 days.
While in Japan, she will be joined by other children from around the globe to participate in the conference that fosters friendship and peace between cultures.
Indigo’s mother, Aleesha, said her daughter had been preparing for her adventure.
“Indigo has had many meetings with the other five children going to Japan and they have worked on a performance to present to the other children at the conference,” she said.
“Indigo will spend four days at the conference and then go to stay with a Japanese host family.
“Here, she will attend school and experience life in Japan.
“Her host family have made contact with her and are very excited about her arrival.”
Last Friday, Casey MP Tony Smith came to assembly to present Indigo with an Australian flag pack that she will then pass on to her host school in Japan.
Mr Smith asked Indigo to keep in touch, as he would like to tell parliament about her adventure on her return.
