Our trip to the Kwajalein Atoll to look into a couple of  Humanitarian Projects on the island of Ebeye Ebeye it is about 450 miles northwest of Majuro where we are staying now

 

 

 Sister Johnson took a picture of island and the runway just over the wing

 

 

Most the Kwajalein Atoll is a Military base and the airport is located on the base, to get Ebeye where we needed to go, we walked on the base to lagoon side and the pier where we could catch a ferry boat to the island of Ebeye

 

 

Look how the housing is layed out in neat rows on the base



 

 The island of Ebeye is 78 acres with over 10,000 residents  and is considered to be one of the most densely-populated places in the world.  It is such contrast to Miltary housing on island 5 miles away

 

With the base on 5 miles away they can get 5 tv channels, they don't have much to live in but look at all the tv antennas.  We were told that on this island people sleep in shifts becasue there not enough floor space in the houses for them to lay down at the same time. 

 

Looking up the street as we entered it from our hotel on the lagoon side of the island

 

The street on the ocean side of the island and the cars have to travel the same direction on the one road around the island.

 

Most of the people have to go to this one location on the island to get fresh water and it hauled to their houses most by bikes.

 

Look at the handle bars on this bike.

 

 



 Road Trip to the West Side of the Island

The island get very narrow in spots like this and only room for the road

Neat little store

 What we though the houses would like before we got here

 What most house are built out and look like here on the island

One of the nice's home on the island and Sister Missionaries live in it.

There is some parts of the island give the feeling of being in the tropics.

As we move about on the island, it has it beauty and it dumps, but the people here have made us feel at home and we have come to love them.
