Video From Saturday Program



This is my first attempt to post a video clip I took a few weeks back at the Saturday Program. It might not work for you, so I'd appreciate some feedback on whether you were able to get it to work or not. I encourage you to watch it until the end as it becomes more entertaining as you watch it. Jackson Katunzi is leading the kids in a song and movements that go along with the song. He is an assistant volunteer case worker and the facilitator of the Saturday Program. He does an amazing job with the kids and truly truly truly loves the children. I hope this works...enjoy!

    Paul,

    Thanks so much for sharing your amazing experiences with all of us. I'm still smiling thinking of that dog's-head-sized bug! Wow!! How many beers had you had??

    The video was sweet and it's great to have pictures to look at- I'm very impressed with you and what you're doing. Keep stretching and growing and of course, keep blogging.

    Love the video, Paul! More, more, more!

    The educational system in Pohnpei is similar. Can students retake the tests (for both high school and college) or is it truly a one-time deal? I know it doesn't solve the problem, but even finding a way to offer the tests a couple times each year would allow for minimally a second chance. In Pohnpei students could take the college entrance exam as many times as they wanted (for $5 each time) and I found that my students performed significantly better the second time around. One of the biggest challenges my students faced on these tests was their lack of practice with standardized tests. Many of my students didn't know how to fill out the answer key bubbles. How can you pass the exam if you don't know how to fill out the answer key, right? They also struggled with the time limits. This was one major reason why they did better the second time around. They understood HOW to take it, therefore they spent less time on each question and were measured more accurately on what they knew. Just some thoughts for you to chew on! :)
