The main goal of visiting Micronesia is for me to gain a real-world perspective on schools and books for students with disabilities. The classrooms have doors that open to the outside, because of the warm weather. Most classrooms have desks and textbooks and all have chalkboards. Sokehs Powe had purple uniforms.
