Once you have decided on a topic and project, please share your learning experience with everyone on the blog.
I learned about Micronesia because of my love for diving. My 29th birthday was an milestone for me, as a result I wanted to do something special.....so I spent 5 weeks traveling and scuba diving in Micronesia. The people and culture were just as amazing as my experiences under the water scuba diving. I hope that on our journey of discovery I can share with you some of the special memories, people and culture that makes Micronesia a very special place that will always be close to my heart.

All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.(Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights)
