Aw thanks! You’re the best. :)
I read about this charity event after the earthquake. I think it’s just wonderful how everyone can get together for a good cause! Keep up the great work with your site!
I read about how to hit Sichuan region – this is terrible, I am very sorry for the people. Thanks for your help charitable foundations.
You guys have no clue of what I have been through looking for talk about this.
I certainly am feelin good now that I found this cool site.

Would you kindly acknowledge that this quake has taken place in Tibet, or at the very least the Tibetan area of China (as the Chinese are doing)???!!! Bad enough that thousands of peoples lives have been left in ruins, but for their very identity to be rendered invisible is the final insult.
