RACINE found its way to a little island called Pohnpei. During her visit, the crew offloaded over 100 pallets of Project Handclasp material including books, medical supplies and construction material, all of which was donated to local schools, the hospi- tal and various civic organizations. Besides, being a floating hotel for many diplomats and reporters, plus giving numerous tours RACINE crew members and an embarked CB Unit found time to help the local community by building a room addition for a local school, rebuilding a local historical land mark (the Spanish Wall), and held refurbishing the island ' s only hospital.
