Awareness Week

This quarter Nick helped out with “Awareness Week” at Ngaraard elementary school. It's a full week of no classes. The kids LOVE it, of course. The faculty tries to plan a bunch of activities to do some hands-on experiential learning. The general idea is to send them away with some common sense "awareness" knowledge, a global perspective and/or an enhanced understanding of Palauan culture. The Ngaraard students went on a couple field trips, got to eat some delicious food, and learned a few multi-cultural lessons.

Getting parents involved at lunchtime.

A field trip to the ancient stone monoliths.
 And a hike up the mountain, for a little exercise. (You can see the monoliths at the bottom of the photo.)
