Weno Caitlin: November 2008

http://wenocaitlin.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html

Thoughts from a small Pacific island. Friday, November 7, 2008. I myself was at first completely skeptical. A tidal wave? I thought we were protected from tidal waves by the reef. My apartment can’t be more than 200 yards from the ocean, will it survive? If a tidal wave hits, will the bank still be open? 8221; (I will swim! What if I die here? Is this seriously happening? 8221; He says, “We sent the kids home, you know it’s just a drill, right? How did no one know? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Weno Caitlin: August 2008

http://wenocaitlin.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html

Thoughts from a small Pacific island. Saturday, August 9, 2008. Request for school supplies. In case anyone reading was interested in helping out St. Cecilia faculty and students, I have compiled a list of school supplies that could be put to use at the school. These supplies are either not available on our island or are pretty expensive if you can find them:. Teachers' lesson plan books. These supplies can be sent to my address:. Chuuk, FM 96942. Federated States of Micronesia. Friday, August 8, 2008.

Weno Caitlin: April 2009

http://wenocaitlin.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html

Thoughts from a small Pacific island. Sunday, April 5, 2009. Fiin Chuuk" - Chuukese Woman. 8221; To me this demonstrated exactly what the project now seeks to deal with- a lack of a social definition of what constitutes domestic violence and sexual assault. The women’s council members know that there is violence in the homes of many, some even say most here. What to call this violence, how to challenge it, and recognizing it as an infringement of human rights is what we are now working on.

Weno Caitlin: February 2009

http://wenocaitlin.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html

Thoughts from a small Pacific island. Sunday, February 22, 2009. Running in a skirt. St Cecilia had its track and field days this week. Two days of too much sun and a lot of small children running. It’s always an exciting time for the students. The staff and students divide up the school into 4 color teams: red, yellow, blue, and green, and compete against each other in sprinting, relays, tug o war, etc. 2-All children run barefoot. 3-Girls run in skirts, sometimes two skirts, with shorts underneath.

January | 2012 | I'm on an Island

https://onanisland.wordpress.com/2012/01

I'm on an Island. Archive for January 2012. The basketball court was the only thing anyone would talk about on Kuttu. Where is it going? When do we start? How many bags of cement was that again? It seemed like the perfect project; if I gave it a push it would roll to the end on its own. Not so much. As much as I gave my friends a hard time for being lazy the land got cleared pretty quickly. In only a month we were able to empty out a plot of land big enough to build a high school basketball court&#46...

180 Bags of Cement | I'm on an Island

https://onanisland.wordpress.com/2011/11/29/180-bags-of-cement

I'm on an Island. 180 Bags of Cement. Leave a comment ». I buy the cement before I knew whether it was going to make it on the boat, only because I am afraid that it would run out and there would be no cement in Chuuk while the boat is waiting for me on the dock. This leads to me telling the store that I needed it delivered one day, then changing it three or four times. I still have to grab the invoice, and I tell the driver. “It’s OK, I forgot water.” I go to get the invoice, t...I knew all along that t...
