  • Supply of clean, safe water and provision of basic sanitation
  • Special feeding for malnourished children and pregnant women
  • Care and counseling for traumatized children
  • Provision of education kits and rehabilitation of schools to ensure the return of children to school as soon as possible.

Unicef “thanks us for our support on behalf of the children. To learn more about how your gift will make a real impact on children's lives, please visit www.unicefusa.org/tsunaminews. Again, we sincerely appreciate your support."

Since mid-January, UNICEF has been focusing on the psycho-social recovery of children through play, song and discussion to help them come to terms with their horrific experiences. As children are especially vulnerable to disease and malnutrition during emergencies, UNICEF also has carried out health surveys to monitor youngsters' well-being.

2005 Bastille Day - Display Samples

Fougères, a small fortified castle, was constructed during the second half of the 15th century and in the beginning of the 16th by three generations of a family of notables from Blois. The Castle of Pierrefonds, next to Compiègne, was built in the 15th century by Philippe d' Orléans, and later demolished on order of Louis XIII. Napoleon III made Viollet-le-Duc rebuild the castle into an imperial house in the 19th century. The castle of Rambouillet is surrounded by a 20,000-acre forest, which is what remains of the former forest of the Yveline region. This hunting ground next to Paris attracted many kings, from François I who died there to Charles X who abdicated there. It is here that the first g7 meeting and the Kosovo meeting took place.
