"I think the island is in serious danger of sinking after the amount of books we received."

That is how Peace Corps Volunteer James Martin described the arrival of boxes of donated books sent to the Outer Island High School (OIHS) on the Island of Falalop.

Falalop is one of four inhabited islands on the Atoll of Ulithi, in Yap State, Micronesia.

This other donations to Micronesia's Outer Islands was coordinated by Habele. Habele is a group of former Peace Corps Volunteers and other Americans with an interest in expanding access to quality classroom instruction in the central Pacific.
