What I Am Doing
Mr. B teaching in Pohnlangas Elementary, one of our adopted schools
Education in Pohnpei
MAHI International has adopted five public schools on the island of Pohnpei, working in grades 6, 7 and 8 teaching English. Specifically, we are focusing on improving their reading proficiency which includes their reading comprehension, vocabulary and grammar skills and phonics. The program consists of Senior Educator Mr. Miller Benjamin (aka Mr. B) and myself traveling to these five schools teaching a 30-minute lesson to each class every week. MAHI International is also supporting the development of the education system on the island of Pohnpei through professional growth and leadership training workshops and conferences with teachers and administrators which support, encourage, motivate, and equip educators to better educate the local children.
Grant Writing
I am often researching and writing grants for several projects of MAHI International, specifically regarding projects related to education, public health and emergency management. Specifically, I work to secure funding through collaborating with the FSM government, foreign embassies, philanthropic foundations and businesses.
