Pictures from Last Day at Mejiruriku

These are pictures from our last day on Mejiruriku Island.  It was such fun to go around and hand out pictures.  The last couple pictures are from when we left the pass and went ocean side (west side of Jaluit) to search for a good break.

Sorting through clothes to give away.  This tie-dye is from Jason.


Me showing one of the classes the jumping pictures I printed for them.

By the way, there are only 2 teachers for grades Kindergarten through 7th grade (no 8th graders this year).  The teacher in the picture above (Terry) teaches 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade in this small room.  Then he also teaches 6th and 7th grade in room next door (he goes back and forth).  Then his father is the teacher for kindergarten to 2nd grade.  Yikes.  Granted it's only about 30 kids total, but still that's tough.

Audrina and Lorina show their beautiful smiles.  They're holding their pictures. 

Mercy smiles large.  She was quite the ham during the picture taking the previous day.  Big personality and very cute.  

Risa seemed surprised to get her picture.  

Aimay smiles large as she gets her picture.

These are the two guys who were a bit freaked out by us when we first arrived.   The little guy in the front was the one who was crying.  This was taken the next day.  These two were so cute.  They were playing boat. 

Handing out pictures to some of the adults.

Playing frisbee with Jacobin and Ruben.

Relaxing and reading as we motor towards a surf break.

TC paddling to check out the surf.

Paul trying to catch a wave.  He caught it for a short while.
