I would like to extend my special thanks to the

Bing Foundation

for making this expedition a possibility for me. Without their financial support I would not have had the opportunity to have an unforgettable experience .

In addition, I wish to thank the efforts of the great

Earthwatch Organization

and

The Teacher Fellowship program

for placing their trust in me and granting me this chance to actualize a part of my dream. I will cherish this experience and share it with my students and fellow teachers.I believe this is only the first step on the long path of the world of unknown...
