Students who welcomed me.

My wife walking along the coast without a harbor.

Take a small boat to Long Island

Miki-chan, do your best! Paulian waved a tiny hand and spared goodbye.

My wife ate it all for the first time. (I wonder if it's okay) I'm sick and I can't afford to feast on the island.

I ate only one bite of bread. The taste is a mix of sweet potato and taro potato.

Steamed breadfruit from breadfruit. Baked in oil. Stewed in coconut milk, it's like sweet oatmeal. Palm fruit juice. All natural food.
 

Children of public health nurses at school. Paulian (4) is staring with big eyes.
She had lunch with Paulyan in Miki's one-LDK private room at the school's discretion.


 

Get off the boat in the shallow water, walk 100 meters to the coast, and live as it is.

Students welcome us with ukulele, singing and dancing at the harbor.

Miki Kondo (27) from Aichi prefecture (a member of JICA) from Japan has been here for two years.

he school-only island is a dormitory system with 200 students and 17 teachers.
They can't get out of the island for two years. Electricity finally came two months ago.

The water is rainwater and well water. There is no flow or shower. Just cover their head with a bucket.
 

We take a small boat from West Laura for 20 minutes with Kaname.
I got covered with a lot of seawater and grabbed the edge of the swaying boat so much that my arm hurt.
　
Kaname has a cool face, closed eyes, and is calm. In the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
To Long Long Island in the Marshall Islands just below the equator.
