Another website they have created is called "Rivertown, USA - Cannelton, Indiana's River History" and it tells of Cannelton's rich river history.
 
Rene de Vries and his family took a trip to Kenya in 2003 and have started a nice project in order to help raise awareness and funds for needy schools there. It is called The Ukunda Schools Project, and you can read a nice report about their trip there and how it all got started at: http://www.get.vuurwerk.nl/kenya/e_index_travel.html
The project is ongoing and you can join if you wish to help the cause.
 
Thank you all for these wonderful reports!
 
Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help you with your students' reports.

We believe that your city, town, or village is special and we want to help you tell others about how special it is to you and why. Please e-mail us if you have any questions or concerns.
