GeoStory

Each month we like to publish a story that shows how Yahoo! GeoCities affects people's lives. Here's our pick for this month: Dear GeoCities, About a year and a half ago, a missionary friend asked if I could bring my family to teach a Bible Study class they needed in Zambia, Africa. Upon accepting, we spent our time getting ready (shots, passports, visas, etc.) as well as putting together a 6-lesson study on religion. Being our first trip out of the United States, into a country that is relatively new to technology, we thought that it would be difficult to communicate with our loved ones back home. So, we decided to create a Yahoo! GeoCities web site that we could use to stay in contact. Now that we are starting our 5th week, we've found that getting online is not always easy, so when we do get on-line, we can upload to this web site such that we communicate to everyone at once. I spend half of my week in the bush without any means of communication. When I return, I can quickly update our pages to report the adventures we've been on. Thanks for offering such a great service! Sincerely, Jim http://www.oocities.org/wiltjk Do you have a story of your own about how Yahoo! GeoCities has influenced your life?
