Brett Taylor kindly gave me permission to use his Namu Atoll video. Here’s Brett’s story:
“I arrived from California to Majuro in August of 2016 to teach high school English at Majuro Baptist Christian Academy. Since then I have also worked at the College of the Marshall Islands as an English instructor. My plan is to head back to college next year and continue my education. Afterwards, I might come back here and teach, or I might move on. We’ll see what happens!”
