Heifer Project Launches Online Kosovo Relief Site
http://www.heifer.org/kosovo/index.html?h

Heifer Project International has begun implementing an
ambitious new, two-phase plan to bring both immediate and
long-term relief to Albanian farm families and exiled Kosovars.
Through this plan, Heifer Project is providing animal feed,
agricultural supplies, fertilizer and vegetable seeds, along with
truckloads of quality-breed, pregnant cows, in an effort
to stave off malnutrition for this critically depressed region. Heifer
Project's initiative is one of the first rebuilding efforts in this region.

Details of Heifer Project's Kosovo action plan are available
online at: <http://www.heifer.org/kosovo/index.html?h>. This Web
site also provides visitors with a wealth of information and actions
they can take from their desktop in support of Heifer Project's
work, including an online donation form, a photo gallery, a stories
from the field section, and an online "message wall."

Subject: T2T> Great kids site

Hi, this site was built for kids by a software filtering company, and of
course they would like for you to buy their software. They offer
discounts for schools and multiple users.

They do have great graphics, lots of free games, etc. They offer for
kids their own email place and adult supervised chat rooms once they
register so the site can correct those who break the rules. This site
is set up for kids with lots of games and educational stuff. Check it
out and decide for yourselves, it's on my bookmarks.
