Peleliu Elementary School 6th-8th grade Educational Talent Search Program participants field trip today was amazing. The field trip consisted of three different types of learning.

The student toured and learned about all the branches by visiting each branch and was greeted by the employees who were able to give the students the information they needed to learn.

2. The students learned about how a Traditional Bai of Palau is built and how it works by visiting Melekeok Bai and get to experience and see how it was made with the help of the Melekeok State Government tour guide.
