Although PIBC has had a presence in Yap for awhile but in 2004 Typhoon Sudal damaged the teaching facility. We have had a hard time getting things back to speed down in Yap since then. Dave Owen has gone down and taught a class or two intensively with a major internet piece in addition to the class room piece. However we are hoping that it will all change in the next year. (A different building showing in the first two pictures) was given for the purpose of a new teaching facility.
Recently a team of three people from California went to Yap to do renovations on the building. Instead of taking a huge team, they took a small team and then they hired and trained local workers to do the re-construction.
Here is some of their finished work on the outside of the building. For more detailed information - check out the stories on Dave Owen's Blog (Link on side).... He visited earlier this month to check out the progress.
