As a volunteer with the World Teach program, I will be spending the following year on the gorgeous island of Gugeegue. Gugeegue is connected to Ebeye, the second largest island of the Marshall Islands and, by far, the most densely populated- with approximately 15,000 people residing in 1 square mile! Gugeegue and Ebeye are connected by a 5 mile causeway and are part of the Kwajalein Atoll (the largest atoll in the world). Gugeegue is quite a small island, I was easily able to navigate the entire island. It took about 20 minutes to walk the length of the island and no longer than a minute and a half to walk across.

Although my surroundings are beautiful and living situation has exceeded any of my expectations, the educational challenges here are grand and my work will not be easy. I hope that I may be of assistance in the classroom and community and would like to thank everyone who made it possible for me to come here in the first place!
I think you lived in the apartment I used to lived in, in the year 2000!
