Already many have set off on searches of the Lost Diagrams of Gold Dragon. All would like to find them. Especially because on east calendar the 2000 is called by year of Gold Dragon!

1999 ThinkQuest Winners!

Our "Travel to Oriland" has received the Silver Award in category "Art and Literature" in 1999 ThinkQuest Competition!

The friends of Oriland send their New Year's congratulations!

Sandi Scoggins teaches at the Yell County Juvenile Detention Center in Danville, Arkansas, USA.

"Congratulations on your award at ThinkQuest! You deserve it!!!
Happy New Year!"

Sandi and her students have sent us a photo of a remarkable christmas tree made by them with use of origami!

She comments: "All of the folded parts of the tree were folded by some of the students, two members of the staff and myself. I designed the tree and put it together myself. The ornaments were folded by the students and myself. The boxes under the tree were all folded by the students. It is currently in our classroom."

Sandi explains: "It is made entirely out of paper. The support in the middle is poster board, and the base is cardboard. The ornaments and the boxes underneath are also made out of paper. The only things that are not paper are the glue holding the tree together and the fishing line by which the ornaments are hanging."
