Keep on Moving!

I found out last week that I will be teaching at an Elementary School in the village of Malem on the Island of Kosrae! My address will be:

PO Box 98

Lelu, Kosrae

FSM 96944

It's just like sending mail in the US. Standard rates apply. Send me a letter and let me know how things are going. Kosrae is known here around the FSM as "The Island of the Sleeping Lady." Kosrae is the second largest island on the FSM. The population is very small, just over 8,000. I will have a bike and could be able to bike around the entire island in about just over 4 hours. I am pictured with Madison, the Peace Corps Kosrae Program Assistant. Stay tuned...

One Morning...I Woke Up..And I knew...A New Day...A New Way...A New How...

Well it has been a few weeks since I could get to the internet. We moved from the main city of Kolonia to a part of the country in the south named Madalenemihw. I am living with a host family in the Village of Telour (pictured above) and walk from their house to the PATS technical training institute (pictured below) for training. They have been amazing and have welcomed me into their family with open arms.

The Times They Are A-Changin'

I flew in yesterday from Honolulu and arrived in Kolonia, Pohnpei. I was met with a warm embrace of humidity and a kiss of rainfall. Tomorrow I leave the town of Kolonia and will head to Madolenihmw where I will continue my Pre-service training. Stay tuned.

All my bags are Packed- I'm ready to go.

Ok so this blog thing is a great concept yet sitting in front of a computer screen to pour your thoughts out to the world can almost instantly become quite a challenge. I am in Hawaii preparing to leaving tomorrow morning for Micronesia. To what awaits me stay tuned and hopefully I can provide some interesting tails along the way.
