Encyclopedias Donated to Chuukese School


Today Habele mailed a set of 2004 Worldbook encyclopedias to Moch Elementary and Junior High School on the island of Weno in Chuuk State.

The books were sent following a request from Principal Akapio Raymond who had heard of the positive impact that Habele book donations made in schools and libraries in neighboring Yap State.

Chuuk is the most populous of the four island groups comprising the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM). The Habele Outer Island Education Fund is a all-volunteer non profit organization dedicated to serving the educational needs of Micronesia's most remote communities.
