Because GRBs are likely detectable up to very high redshift, and because the gamma-rays are not attenuated by intervening columns of gas and dust, these phenomena thus offer a unique perspective to probe the star formation in the early Universe independently of the biases associated with dust extinction. We report on the R-K colors of the GRB host galaxies. We find that they are very blue sources, with colors comparable to those of the faint blue star-forming galaxies at high redshift.1 page, 1 figure, Conf.
