Village Photos, etc.

Good Evening-
Today will be a very short entry as it is getting late. However, don't worry click on the link below to see a bunch of pictures from some of the twenty-one villages in the Lower Kuskokwim School District.

I've worked, visited, or just landed at several of them: Newtok, Mekoryuk, Tununak, Nightmute, Toksook Bay, Kasigluk-Akiuk, Kasigluk-Akula, Goodnews Bay, Nunapatchuk, Napaskiak, Oscarville, Napakiak, Chefornak, Tunt, Kong, Kwigillingok, Atmautluak, and of course ME, BRHS, and Kilbuck located in Bethel.
I can't say I have an overall favorite village or school in Alaska as a lot of factors go into making a decision like that. Each one has its good and bad points. Essentials such as water, sewer, heat, food play a part, but you also have to consider the weather. Blizzards and high winds will occur. That is a fact. Planes won't fly and you can get stuck for days in a village unable to fly out. If you can live with the isolation and be flexible on traveling, then you might have the demeanor to work in Rural Alaska.
Until next time.
