Chat with Charlie this Thursday 8/14/14!
You’ve probably seen a few emails from Charlie in your inbox and maybe even watched one of his journeys with Lucky or gorilla visits in Rwanda. But have you formally met? Because Charlie wants to meet with you!
This Thursday, 8/14/14, tune into the Brooks Falls Bear Cam at Noon PT/3 PM ET for a live chat with Charlie. He is excited and eager to connect with viewers on what you’d like to see more of on explore.org.
And in case you didn’t know…
Charles Annenberg Weingarten is the founder of explore.org. He is a filmmaker, philanthropist, and storyteller dedicated to improving the quality of life in developing nations through emerging communication technologies, preserving the environment, improving education, and embracing spirituality to foster a common bond among global citizens.
One of my goals when I created explore was to go out in the world and find selfless people dedicated to improving the human condition: Individuals not driven by the dollar but by the human spirit. They are the champions, the true heroes. I then hoped to share their work with whoever might find it of interest. I say whomever, because learning is a lifelong pursuit that is not defined or limited by age — we all mature at different times in our lives. So with this in mind, Explore is for anyone who follows the mantra “Never stop learning.”
Submit your comments and questions on the day of the chat in the comment section of the Brooks Falls Bear Cam. Charlie wants to hear from you!
I really hope I get to see this chat but I’m in Australia so get a bit confused with the time differences. Hopefully though it will also be posted for others who do miss out to watch later.
I really love all the cams, even when they have problems, are up & down I’ll happily watch the re-runs. It’s just so amazing to be able to sit here at home & see places so far away & see all the beautiful wildlife as well as the people who help protect it.
Thank you so much Charlie and everyone involved with Explore as well as all those wonderful cam operators who give their time so we don’t miss any of the action. You’ve all made my life so much better. :0)
Hi Gilllian;
I’m world time zone challenged too. So I use the http://www.timeanddate.com website quite a bit. Highly recommended. Very handy if I want to watch the moon rise on the Beluga Sky Cam in Churchill, MB, Canada, for example.
I used the World Clock Meeting Planner to figure out the Chat with Charlie starts at 5am AEST or 3am AWST early Friday morning. (see the picture)
I also started a countdown timer for the chat that will work in any time zone:

Thanks so much for that ValleyFlowers, I was thinking a countdown timer would be great but am technically challenged on those things myself. Yes 5am my time, will have to set the alarm so I don’t miss it.
I’ve book marked your link as I’m sure it will come in handy in the future.
We will post reminders on the website, and we’ll send out a newsletter and some social media updates. You can follow these channels if you’re on Facebook or Twitter:
