"News and Views" includes a wide range of themes and there are several regions in Area 6 - Projects helping Children worldwide, the latest News of everything happening across the site, the website Guestbook [guestbook entries only from the very early days], FOCUS, where we throw the spotlight on items of interest to schools, parents and children, Creativity [stories, poems, articles, jokes and a large selection of Aesop's Fables], and some interesting articles from Kathryn Watts about the lifestyles of kids in other countries.
The
Projects Helping Children Worldwide area has recently been massively overhauled and added to [there's now a colour-coded alphabetical index to countries and regions], and we've created new index pages for the different continents. Support for any of the many charities featured, would be much appreciated - please always contact charities before fundraising, to verify that their contact and address details are up to date.
Our thanks to all visitors to Project HappyChild who responded to the Appeal (on site from December 1999) from Scott McDonald, Task Force Falcon, USA, for supplies, such as pens, pencils, crayons, paper for the school sponsored by the 709th MP Battalion in Kosovo. Scott McDonald's follow-up letter is included on the previous Appeal page.
The original story in our Creativity area - "Glaxibel The Avenger" still receives many page views - as do the 220 Aesop's Fables now on line. The pagebuilding for all major areas of this website has now been completed (please see "The Journey" page) so no further additions in "News and Views" are planned.
