Friends and sponsors for the Digital Village

This special Digital Village Great Escapes is brought to you by Hewlett-Packard.  HP’s Digital Photography sponsorship takes us to New Guinea; a land lost in time and one of the most exotic and remote islands of the world. The Digital Village sponsorship allows us to see the island through the eyes of the people who live there; all made possible by HP digital cameras and printers.

Teva, the original sport sandal, is the future of outdoor footwear. In 1984 Mark Thatcher built the first sports sandal out of inspiration and a little ingenuity. His creation combined the spirit of a sandal with the soul of a shoe. Today the demands of the outdoor athlete are as rigorous as the elements themselves. From canyoneering and kayaking to trail running and trekking, Teva® has moved on-shore and up-range. Learn more by visiting their website at www.teva.com.
