Show Your Support
Right now, everyone probably feels as helpless as I do... I have
watched the images on tv and wished that there was something I could do
to help [hence this website]. As an Australian, I am about as far away
from America as it's possible to get, but I've found that there are still
things that we can do to show our support to those who are suffering as
a result of this tragedy.

One thing that everyone could do is to download this small icon. It's not
a big thing, but it shows our support for America. Right click on this
icon and save it to your harddisk, then put it anywhere where people will
see it. Use it on your webpage, diary, desktop, or anywhere else where
people will see it. Alternatively, copy and paste the following text to
your own webpage to link wherever you want the ribbon to appear:

Handcraft a Pin of Hope
Pins can be knitted, sewn, crocheted, painted, fimo... any medium
that you can think of. Make one pin, make a hundred - whatever your heart
leads you to. This could be a good project for your children to participate
in too. Pins are small and light enough that anyone anywhere in the world
can make them and mail them without a vast expense being involved.
