Volunteering Throughout the Communities of Pohnpei
Health & Wellness Education
MAHI International volunteers stay involved in the communities of Pohnpei in addition to teaching English in elementary classrooms. Volunteer Jeff Georges (pictured on the left) coordinates health and wellness education in schools and in 3 at-risk island communities. In addition, Jeff teaches tango weekly to encourage an active lifestyle.
