Long Beach Press Conference

The United States of America and Cabo Verde Island Student Science and Technology Exchange Program

For years we have been looking for a creative ways to make it possible for students and teachers in the United States to work with students and teachers on the Cabo Verde Island.  It took a US visit of two mayors form the Cabo Verde Islands and USA Kid’s Talk Radio Journalists to make it possible.  “The kids set the stage, and before you knew it negotiations were underway”, said Bill Tom, Long Beach Press.

Bob Barboza and Kid’s Talk Radio reporters on special assignment form Wilson and Poly High Schools in Long Beach, California met with two mayors form the Cabo Verde Islands on November 18, 2008.

The Mayor of Fogo, Sr. Eugenio Veiga, and the Mayor of Brava, Sr. Camilo Goncalves, began their weeklong trip to the state of California by answering environmental questions at our Kid’s Talk Radio Press Conference on Global Warming. 


 Our main goal was to interview the Cabo Verde Mayors for a new C-SPAN project dealing with matters of climate change and global warming.  Kid’s Talk Radio and Jr. Medical School students will produce a special podcast for C-SPAN.  Our special topic for the C-SPAN project will be global warming and climate change. 

“Hurricanes are born at and near the Cabo Verde Islands.  Our students received first hand knowledge from our visiting mayors,” said Barboza.

\We have included both audio and video clips of our special press conference here and on the following websites:

The United States Press Conference Team consisted of   Kid’s Talk Radio student journalist from California, New York, Georgia, and Mississippi.   All student journalists are working on special projects to gain a better understanding of global worming throughtout the world.  Another important goal is to have one Kid Talk Radio Journalist and one Jr. Medical School Journalist in each one of our fifty states.


  In 2008, Kid’s Talk Radio and the ICEAXE Foundation collaborated made it possible to study the effects of global warming and climate change first hand in Antarctica, the North Pole, and the Amazon Jungle.  We are now making plans to visit the Cabo Verde Islands in the summer of 2008.

We are asking teacher throughtout the world to join us in building news teams that deal with important issues that will benefit all of mankind.

We welcome your comments!
