Journey to Forever is a pioneering expedition by a small, mobile NGO (Non-Government Organization) involved in environment and rural development work, starting from Hong Kong and traveling 40,000 kilometers through 26 countries in Asia and Africa to Cape Town, South Africa.  The focus will be on trees, soil and water, sustainable farming, sustainable technology, and family nutrition.  

The aim is to help people fight poverty and hunger, and to help sustain the environment we all must share. 

Schoolchildren are a special part of Journey to Forever -- this is a wonderful opportunity for students to learn about the issues that are so vital to the world they'll inherit.  At the same time they'll learn how to use the new information technology in innovative and creative ways, linking and collaborating with other children in other lands, learning together, and contributing to real issues.  It's open to schools everywhere -- via satellite link, we'll take participating schoolchildren into classrooms in villages very far from anywhere.

EnergySmart Schools is a partnership — a joint effort of Government and private organizations - led by the U.S. Department of Energy.
