Established in 2004, this global site has educational programs designed for children ages 5 through 12 and was developed by leading e-learning vendors and qualified instructional designers.

Nick van Dam, the founder and chair of the foundation, is an internationally recognized tho... More About: Lifestyles , Healthy
