Another busy month here at World Wide Learn. We now offer a total of 125 subject categories, (see below for details).

We'll announce that soon and provide all the details in a mid-month update.
Webmaster Runs Off to Africa!
Hey, even webmasters need vacations right? I'm sure ready for one, so I'm traveling to Africa to participate in an Earthwatch Expedition studying Cheetahs at the Cheetah Conservation Fund site in Namibia. Long term subscribers will recall my expedition last year to study Elephants in Kenya. This "learning holiday" was so enjoyable that I signed up again!
This year I'll be staying at Eland's Joy, a 15,000 hectare working farm and CCF headquarters. Duties for myself and fellow volunteers will include: conducting wildlife surveys; feeding and caring for captive cheetahs; and radio-tracking collared cheetahs.
Online Field Journal
Visit our online journal site for daily updates and photos from Namibia.
