Our team would like to thank our coach, Mr. Lemon. He helped us a lot with some of the technical aspects of our website. All the help he gave us is greatly appreciated. Thank you Mr. Lemon!

Thank you Mrs. Dittman for translating our site from English to German! We really appreciate all the work you put into that and are happy that some people that don't speak English will be able to read our site. Thank you very much!!

We would also like to the www.go2poll.com for letting us use there resources to build the polls that we have posted on most of our pages. We think that it can be interesting to see how many people are affected by certain natural disasters.

Finally we want to tell all of the websites that we linked our sites to and got information from! Thank you very much!
