On September 18, Bruce Best from Guam? or Yap? or Saipan? or somewhere in the western Pacific writes:

—–That’s Bruce….Here’s my comment–
What more do you need to want to tune in live, in real time, for this funniest, most informative, hardest working and yes - strangest - human being on our great not-so-make-believe ship.
Sometime late Sunday afternoon, October 8 if you live in the Americas. Sometime early morning Monday if you live in somewhere between Guam and Moscow. Start time for our swing through Hawaii and somewhere west of there with Bruce Best — 22:00 GMT Sunday October 8.

Dear John Hibbs
The International Holistic Tourism Education Centre - IHTEC is dedicated to developing Global Sustainability Education programs that educate young people through “Tourism as a Vital Force for Peace”. Innovative and realistic, IHTEC has become an acclaimed vehicle of peace- building and protecting the environment within communities around the world. IHTEC has ECOSOC status at the United Nations and has status with UNESCO for the “Decade of Education of Sustainable Development”.
IHTEC’s International School Peace Gardens and other programs, are self generating and self perpetuating programs. It has been something that came for the heart and to be passed on from one school or community to the other, without the need for official documentation. IHTEC suggested that schools become “ambassadors of peace” or expand the concept of the “Path of Peace”. This was done by using a booklet of how their school achieved their goals. Or by holding a function in their peace gardens, and handing out a ‘peace tree’ to start the next school’s program. It has been a spontaneous outreaching activity and ISPG went much further than IHTEC every thought possible. It was like a wildfire, free to jump from school to school. Each school was free to create and manage their ISPG. Freedom of choice was the main democratic purpose. Total freedom of choice …
IHTEC is about training teachers using both face to face and virtual methods. IHTEC has always been about building awareness using positive language within solutions, through Peace and Sustainability Education. The purpose of the ISPG program was to help school to teach peace, environment and culture together. To understand that the curriculum focused on issues and action around the global commons and climatic changes.
