REVIEW:
Brian Giacoppo started this phenomenal site when he was just ten years old! This site is a tribute to what young people are capable of, given the opportunity and the inspiration. World Surfari takes you on different world adventures. Included so far are Jamaica, Italy, Kenya, Japan, and Greenland. Users will learn about each country's geography, economy, population, and history. Don't miss "Fun from Afar," a collection of cultural links to recipes, sports, language lessons, art projects, and more!
