Welcome to Area 11

ALL AROUND THE WORLD

Since this website began in 1998, we have gradually been building links to a huge range of 'places across the planet' - not only the 'big countries' but also all the other areas of the world that children may live in.

The massive new "Countries A-Z" area (which includes a gigantic colour-coded table of countries) includes capital cities, country codes, dialling codes, and links to everything from education and school-nets to currency (banknotes), statistics (CIA world factbook), maps, photos, projects helping children, 'your age in seconds', population clock, latitude and longitude of capital cities, global weather, world time zone map, a currency converter, and volcanoes.
Take a look at a sample page here.

Of course many children live on islands - so we have also built an "Islands A-Z" area which not only identifies which islands 'belong' to which countries, but also links to 'Islands on the Air', the global island network, the island law site and the UN earthwatch island directory.

Many of the larger islands in the world are covered in more depth via the 'Countries A-Z' links - and also the Pacific and Caribbean areas of Schools Interchange (and likewise the Pacific/Caribbean areas of 'Projects helping Children') - wherever in the world you're looking for, you should be able to find out related information re the links from this site, as well as having a way to contact schools or organizations helping children in that area.

The "Countries A-Z" area also identifies the languages spoken in the many countries across the world, and as most of you will be aware, these languages are now linked (wherever applicable) to the new dual-language worksheets area, where thousands of free worksheets are now on line for languages ranging from French to Arabic.

Also in Area 11 is our unique, massive, alphabetical index to "USA State Counties" - counties are listed not only by state but also grouped by 'first letter' - so you can explore the many separate 'Orange County', 'Madison County' or 'Washington County' links. There is also a link from this area to 'Sioux Tribes' and from there to the NCAI Embassy of Tribal Nations.

Project HappyChild really is for 'all children'. Wherever they might be in the world. Our aim is that all schools should be enabled to make contact with one another, that children should be able to learn one another's languages free of charge, and that help for children disadvantaged by illness or circumstance should be easy to locate through our 'Projects helping Children' area.

All the educational resources we have built on the site here are 'free to print'. If they help you, or your children, why not raise funds for one of the charities featured on the site here, to help other children?   It's up to you, now.
