Due to MORE computer problems as a result of the RMI salt and humid climate, I will not be updating until right before I leave the Marshall Islands on June 3rd. That will be my final post in this country. Thanks so much for your support!
Quick update: School is ending this week and things are winding down quickly. This past Friday, my students had an all day show where they presented the books they wrote, illustrated, and bound. Ribelles from outside of the school and many of the teachers and students at MMS came to support. I was extremely proud of them. This week we will be filming the Peter Pan play we have been working on all term. The filming will culminate with a massive water balloon fight, which, besides being an opportunity for my students to pelt me and vice versa, will represent the battle between the pirates and the Lost Boys. Suffice to say, I am very excited for it. This past weekend, I finally spent a night in Laura, the other, more untouched and suburban part of the Majuro island with some of the WorldTeachers who are stationed out there. While out there I finally got up the courage to go past the breakers and see the coral drop off that makes this island a coral atoll. It was a terrifying experience because the waves were high, but rewarding to finally see. The Laura experience was also nice because I finally got to stay with a host family and live like the Marshallese do.
Until the final update,
Bar Lo Kom,
Andrew
