Shishmaref, AK

I just got back from Shishmaref, AK. It located north of Nome and I love going there. The people are always friendly. Here are some pictures of the children at our Head Start site.
The little boy is Michael. He is my co-workers son and was very shy when I first got into the classroom. Everytime I tried to sit by him he would get up and go the farthest table from me. I was thinking I was starting to smell or something. By the end of the day he was my buddy and even let me take his picture. The other picture is of my co-worker Wilsa (Michael's mom) and myself after a drive around Shish. Wilsa has gone on a couple of work trips with in the past couple of years and I always enjoy visiting her in her hometown.
