ISLANDS A-Z
Project HappyChild aims to link *all* children ... wherever they live in the world. Most of you will have seen the areas for countries worldwide and USA state counties ..... but lots of kids and teenagers live on islands in out-of-the-way places.
Some islands (or island groups) are big enough to be "countries" ... but some are very much smaller. However the Internet stretches to most places these days :) and we have built an index to include over 2000 islands located across the world so far, to make it possible for schools *everywhere* to make contact with one another and build lateral bonds between kids across the world.
Below is a grid for "islands beginning with the letter ..." and each letter leads to an alphabetical listing. Each island listing shows the country it's linked with - click on the country to reach links to its government, education department, schools, universities and projects helping children, wherever these have been located.
The main index page at Schools Interchange has an alphabetical world map coded by *colour* (so you can see what's near what!) and (for example) the Australasia page links to Pacific island countries, and the Americas page to Caribbean island countries (and so on).
Why not ask your school to make contact with a school on the opposite side of the world, or on an island somewhere? We've also put links on every page of this index, to "islands on the air" so that those of you with school radio clubs will find it easier to make contact with your chosen area. Let us know how you get on!
