We moved in to the dorm for the Pacific Orientation Course yesterday. It is located on NobNob tribal lands 1200 feet above Madang on the northern coast of PNG. Nineteen of us traveled up a very steep pot-holed dirt road (7 are young kids) in an open flat bed truck for an hour to get here, and now our official instruction on the language and culture begins. We will have classroom sessions, physical conditioning hikes and swims, be paired with a village host family for weekend visits, and eventually live in a village for the last several weeks. Our dorm room will be our home for the next 2 months; the mosquito net is already set up!
