Text Version Discussion board Looking for Assistance. My name is David Tibbetts and I am writing on behalf of Mr. Isauro Andrew. Isauro resides in Hatohobei, an atoll island that is part of the Republic of Palau in the western Pacific. Hatohobei is located approximately 200 miles north of Halmahera and Moratai islands of Indonesia and is 380 miles S-SW of the main island of Palau. It is a rather isolated island, it takes 36 hours to travel on the supply ship from the national center of Palau, Koror, to Hatohobei.
Communication is done via VHF marine radio.
I am a graduate student in culture studies at the University of Guam and have known Isauro for about four years. He is more or less my adopted father, for lack of any other english word to describe our relationship. Isauro lost his sight at the age of 21 due to very unfortunate circumstances. He is now around 56 -60 years of age. He is almost completely blind.
