The Island Hopper to Micronesia

Beneblog: Technology Meets Society

FEBRUARY 10, 2008

Although the mission of the trip is to understand the situation of visually impaired students in Micronesia, I absolutely get the benefits of visiting these islands and enjoying the scenery. Our first destination on this trip was Pohnpei, in the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM). Getting to these islands is not simple.

Beneblog: Technology Meets Society

FEBRUARY 18, 2008

The Federated States of Micronesia has its capital on Pohnpei (it's one of four states in the FSM), so we met with both leaders from the federal FSM government as well as from Pohnpei State. Pohnpei State includes the island of Pingelap, which has 10% of their students with a hereditary condition called achromatopsia.
