Hi,
I have recently been invited to Kiribati leaving in October. I am going to be a water and sanitation volunteer. Does any anyone have anything to share about this country? What should I pack?

Hi Jen!
I do not know if you have left yet! I was a K-25 volunteer in Kiribati. I recently arrived home after traveling around the world. I finished my service in Kiribati on 1/2001.
It is very important to pack a good fillet knife, cause you will be eating lots of fish-provided that you are not vegetarian.

Hi!
I have been invited to serve (and accepted) leaving in march. I want to get in contact with some other people who may be heading that way in my class. Also, any advice from returned volunteers would be greatly appreciated. Anything from stories to what i should definately pack! Thanks
I am also very curious about the language.

Hi, I will be in Kiribati in a month as a Health and Community Dev. volunteer. I am looking at solar battery chargers and radios but I am getting lost in all the options. Does anyone have advice on brands or types that will work best on the outer islands? Thanks!

I am looking for a person serving on Kiribati in 1995. She found a dog tag from WWII belonging to a soldier from Kentucky. She gave it to her sister living in Alaska who gave it to a WWII veteran from Wisconsin. He eventually
was able to direct it to my mother in Indiana. Some notes included with the tag indicated the finder might want to learn the full story, but her name wasn't included. He fought on Makin, and he was wounded on Saipan and also Okinawa. If you are still interested please contact me at ronaldspencer@earthlink.net. I would like to hear yours.
Thank you,
Ron

I spent some of my elementary school and middle school years on Kiribati when my dad was doing international law work for the government there. I learned the language and still speak it very fluent. If any of you would like to form up a Kiribati Memories Group, please include me in it. I recalled seeing some of the Peace Corp volunteers in Kiribati, working very hard to assist the Kiribati natives, in improving their way of life. I respect you all for serving the people. Tiabo.Thank you.

Hi there. My name is Dr Bwaabwa Oten from Kiribati. I am trying to trace my grandfather who supposedly serve in WW2 on Abemama. His name is Barber....don't know the surname (what a shame). Anyway it would be good to at least know him or the family. Would be great if you can help recommend some site that I can easily access. Thanks

I'm a graduate school student at Columbia University doing a paper on renewable energy and efficiency cook stoves for Kiribati. I would appreciate any help form anyone served in the islands. I need to know what kind of cook stoves are used in the outer islands and what source of energy is used to fuel them? Would they be financially able or willing to buy an efficient stove in the rural areas? What is the average rural income? I REALLY appreciate any help I can get.
