This village is just 50 miles from the town my daughter lives in. For the first time ever they now have running water in their homes.
@Bemet_Or My daughter is a teacher out there. After 15 years she has learned enough to surprise her students when they speak about her in the Yup'ik language. She will respond to their comments and loves the shocked looks they give her!
@gettinaway that's great! I bet her students love that.
@Bemet_Or They do! She had to earn their respect in the beginning but she now considers it her home and these are her kids. The students and parents now love her for all the time she gives them.
@gettinaway hahaha Yeah I know what you mean! I've done some work up there remotely, and I have a really hard time with the languages.
