Dear Dave:
(1) Many thanks for your msg (ATTACHMENT I).
(2) Your nephew’s round the globe boat cruse sounds very interesting!! -- even with his offer of teaching the technology of Geographic Information System (GIS) to local people at the ports where he will be.
Dear E-Colleagues:
(3) Pls check the route of his trip at <www.serviceatsea.org> -- mostly around the southern hemisphere — from San Diego, Caribbean, East coast of South America down to Argentina, South Africa, Mozambique, then to India, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, South Pacific, Chili, Peru, and back to San Diego.
Should you wish to have his teaching of the GIS to your K-12 students (and, of course, anyone who might be interested), pls contact Dave directly.
Dear Dave:
(4) Pls convey my best wish to his adventure!!
Best, Tak

> Hello Tak:
>
> I wanted to bring to your attention an opportunity that may be of interest to
> the GLOSAS/GUS community. My nephew, Andrew Stephens, is a specialist in geographic
> information systems (GIS). I have used him for instruction at the University of Tennessee and elsewhere to
> train people in GIS applications. I've been advising him as he has developed this project,
> scheduled to begin in June 2007.
>
> Andrew has put together a project to go around the world stopping along the
> way at selected ports and offering training in the use of GIS, an important tool in many disciplines,
> and available to the world-wide web. The project emphasizes a combination of face-to-face and net
> connection instruction. The project is being supported by several foundations and sponsors including ESRI
> and Newman's Own.
>
> Members of GLOSAS/GUS may find out more about the project at
>
> <www.serviceatsea.org>
>
> Stopping places are now being selected. NGO's and educational institutions
> located along the route may enquire about arranging a training stop by contacting the project through
> their website.
