"I joined AFWJ as a shy newlywed when I was just 22. I have now been married for 12 years and I can say that joining AFWJ has been one of the best things about my life here in Japan! The friendships and support from other members has enriched my life and helped me develop into the confident, happy foreign wife I am today!"
