New here,

I'm here online for the children of Haiti.

I'm at this site for a non-profit haiti organization that gives time to
building oppurtunities for the kids in haiti. If anyone wants to donate then this is the site:

[url=http://universallearningcentre.org]Donate to Haiti[/url] or Help Haiti

They provide children in Haiti a positive learning environment.

Please check it out, they are legitimate.

Any help would be great

hello,

I visited Himachal Pradesh in 2005, if I remember correctly.

I often caught glances of a white ribbon tailed bird.. it was very graceful, its tail would flow up and down as it flew.

If you happen to know which bird this may be, please let me know!

Thank you!
