Register Now! Expedition is January 23-27, 2006!
Dear Teachers, Students, and Adventure seekers!!!
Hi, I’m Blue Zones explorer, Dan Buettner!
You might remember me from my past online expeditions -
MayaQuest and GalapagosQuest. More recently my Quest
team and I traveled to Okinawa, Japan in search of the
secrets to longevity.
Now, in cooperation with Global SchoolNet Foundation and
the International Trachoma Initiative, we'll explore the
other extreme.
You are invited to join our trek to Ghana from January
23 - 27, 2006 and investigate why this West African
nation suffers such a short life expectancy.
In Okinawa, a newborn baby is expected to live 86 years.
But in Ghana the same child is only expected to live 56
years-30 years less! Why is that? Is it poor diet,
unhealthy lifestyle, or lack of social support?
Let’s search for answers together! Each day, we'll post
a Daily Dispatch live from Ghana at
www.bluezones.com.
Classrooms can vote to direct our AfricaQuest
Expedition, as well as email experts and the team.
Questions and answers will be posted to the Website for
everyone to enjoy and learn from.
Register now to direct the team at
www.bluezones.com
Best of all - registration is free!
But, hurry – we are starting our expedition next week!
Live Large!
