vEcotourism, which is being pioneered at Chimp-n-Sea, has strong potential to help protect people and wildlife in remote areas on a vast scale.  We're making progress with both the vEco technology and with in-country (Uganda, to start with) infrastructure.  We're starting to provide vEcotours, free, to the public, each week.  But to make the dream of protecting wildlife a reality, we need your support.  Sending money would help.  We're looking to build a dedicated team of creative, hard-working, fun-loving volunteers.  We're looking for people who can host a tour.  We're looking for people who can help design and create tour content.  We're looking for web developers with some knowledge of scripts and/or java.  We're looking for GIS/map programmers and sound engineers.  We're looking for folks to help with fund-raising.  We're looking for accountants who know Quickbooks and who know something about non-profits.  We could use all sorts of help but please don't apply unless you are serious about helping on an ongoing basis.  We're looking for self-motivated volunteers who, on their own volition, follow through and get things done.   Help us refine vEco1.0  into a rich, imaginative, educational experience.  Thanks!  I hope to hear from you soon.   -Mark, mark@chimp-n-sea.org
