Where are you now and what are you doing?
I'm in the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) serving as a English Literacy Co-Teacher/Co-Planner.
How long are you going to be there?
27 months. The first three months are spent in Pre-Service Training (PST) and the next two years are at my permanent site.
Micronesia? I've never heard of that, tell me more!
It's an island chain in the Pacific Ocean, northeast of Papa New Guinea and south of Guam. FSM consists of 607 islands spread over a longitudinal distance of 1,678 miles and is divided into four states- Yap, Chuuk, Pohnpei and Kosrae. FSM and the United States are in a Compact of Free Association which means the US provides Micronesia with financial assistance, as well as economic and military provisions and works to promote self governance and independence.
