In May, 2010, during the Review Conference of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, scores of hibakusha visited the United Nations.  In addition to sponsoring hibakusha, Hibakusha Stories arranged for visiting hibakusha to speak to New York City high school students.  A delegation from Nagasaki visited City As School in Manhattan.
