| YETI, here in the England, is supported by a group
called 42. For those who have
read a book called Hitch-Hikers Guide to the Galaxy, and have a wide imagination, you will
perhaps understand why. We are an organization
who work in a peer education/
community development mode and work with our own projects as well as well as supporting
existing groups. As part of our work we are beginning to develop our own web site at
www.project42.org.uk
Our work with YETI started in 1998 and then in 1999 with a live chat with Sweden from a group
at Castle Camps youth club.
| Here is a capture from the video chat. It is a group of Kate's
friends. We started the youth club session with Kate running an IRC chat group with
the junior age range followed by her friends joining us to chat with
Sweden. Liechtenstein were also there but the UK girls seem to have something about
Swedish boys that just kept them chatting. |

After email requests for another chat 42 visited Foley House Youth
Center in Newmarket, Suffolk for an
overnight chat session. We were there from 10 p.m. on Friday evening to 8.00 a.m. on
Saturday morning. The chat started with a link up with Liechtenstein (thanks for your
help so late in the evening) and then continued with a variety of net- meeting and IRC
chats. More of this on the 42 web site. The picture is of Kate and Haley sitting by
the PC ready for chat (not the same Kate as at Linton!) |
| We also have published pages organized
by Peter which are about his friends
and their interests. They are all lower sixth students at Newmarket Upper School and
spend some of their spare time learning html. The school web site can be found at www.rmplc.co.uk/sites/nusnkt |

We hope to add to these pages in the future. We will show you the mobile
chat system we have set up in an old land rover (12 seat van thing) and more about our
activities. The most up to date pages will probably be found on the 42 web site, but then that is only one click away. More
up to date information can be found on the English
section of the YETI pages. |
