This event can't be an OIHS Graduation Ceremony. OIHS is located on Falalop, Ulithi. The dancers in this picture are women of Satawal. The school in the background is the Satawal Elementary School, now known as Satawal Community School. There are two long buildings that make up the school. This is the 'older' building. by Sam Ilesugam (en_rhak@yahoo.com) at 2007-12-25 18:48:10
