Dear Educator,

The following is an announcement for RUNNING THE NILE. A FREE classroom
project dealing with the science and social studies of the Victoria Nile in
Uganda, Africa. Be sure to visit the WWW site (in development) to learn
more about the project. If you would like further information please
e-mail: Nile@eventmedia.com

If you have received this message in error, please discard. We apologize
for the mail!

In January and February of 1996 a team of kayakers will attempt a "first
ever" descent of the Victoria Nile River in Uganda, Africa. Paddlers have
long avoided this great river. Its remoteness and violent whitewater have
defeated all previous challengers - not to mention its shores, which
Katharine Hepburn describes as, "carpeted with crocodiles."

RUNNING THE NILE will provide a unique opportunity for educators to connect
their learners to mysterious Africa. Through real-time content delivered
via the Internet, RUNNING THE NILE creates a curriculum framework for
mainstream Social Studies and Science classrooms.

Join us in bringing the Nile River to your students. All online programming
will be provided FREE OF CHARGE! Teacher Resources Include:

*Journal Updates from the Team in Africa
*Water Quality, Topography, and Life Science Data from the Nile River
*Social Studies ans Science Lesson Plans and Classroom Activities
*Photos, Tips & Templates for Multi-Media Presentations
*Other Resources for the Nile Classroom
*Ask the OnLine Expert
*Ask the Team - Questions to the Team on the Nile

For further information on RUNNING THE NILE send e-mail to:
