Hi
Mrs Flynn,
My
name is Angela Saunders, I am in the Marshall Islands right now researching of
my Masters thesis. Previously I was WorldTeach Field Director for 2 years, the
Field Director for the two current directors who are Boo's directors. I helped
out with some of the orientation session and have gotten to know this group of
volunteers. I am really good friends with them and have been to Bikarej a
couple times where Boo is now place. I was able to go on the boat out to
Bikarej with her, Todd and two other volunteers Leslie and John last Friday. It
is such a beautiful island, it holds a special place in my heart. I wanted to
send you some of the pictures I took. When we are the boat on the way out and
just about at Boo's Island we came across a pod of dolphins. The sun was
shining and the dolphins were jumping everywhere around the boat. It was really
beautiful and Boo could not contain her enjoyment. I think she was able to
capture some on video that is on a card that I believe will be on it's way to
you soon. Once we got to the islands she will be living on all she could keep
saying was "I can't believe this is real, it is so beautiful". I am
sure you will hear it from her as well, so I don't want to ruin that letter for
you :). She was extremely happy and the host family welcomed us with lots of
food and fresh coconuts. There was pig and octopus stew, quite a treat. We then
saw walked over to the school and she got to see her classroom.
