In 1976, two young teachers, Joan and Larry Wahl, left their comfortable lives in the United States to travel to the remote island of Kosrae in the Federated States of Micronesia. They were drawn to Kosrae by its natural beauty and its people's desire to learn. What they found was a community that was eager for knowledge and a place where they could make a real difference.

Joan and Larry Wahl taught at Kosrae High School for three years. During that time, they not only taught their students academic subjects but also helped them to develop their critical thinking skills and their sense of self-worth. They also worked to improve the school's facilities and to create a more positive learning environment.

The Wahls' work in Kosrae had a profound impact on the community. They helped to raise the educational standards of the island and to inspire a new generation of leaders. They also helped to build a stronger sense of community and to promote a greater appreciation for the island's culture and traditions.

In 1980, the Wahls returned to the United States. However, they never forgot their time in Kosrae. They continued to work to support the island's development, and they remained close friends with many of the people they had met there.

In 2016, the Wahls published a book about their experiences in Kosrae. Letters From The Sleeping Lady is a heartwarming and inspiring story about the power of education and the importance of making a difference in the world. It is a must-read for anyone who believes in the power of human connection and the importance of giving back to the community.
