I know, initially, this will sound strange, but Sam Walton through the Walton Family Foundation.

I've been doing reasearch on an upcoming trip to Raja Ampat, Indonesia. I kept coming across references from the support of the foundation in regard to the establishment of Marine Protective Areas. Of course the foundation also has other areas it supports, namely education. Check out the 2011 Grant Report.

Who knew Sam Walton was a Diver???

Time on earth is precious, time underwater even more so. Live life one day at a time. Dive your @$$ off!!!
