美國911事件國際關懷活動：分享孩子們的希望 (KidsShareHope)
美國911事件引起國際間極大的關注：被挾持的民航飛機自殺式的衝撞摩天大樓與五角大廈，引起爆炸、燃燒而導致大樓倒塌，無辜的平民在驚愕中喪生，無數的家庭因此而破碎。在這樣的事件中，罹難者的家屬，尤其是他們的孩子們，急需要各界的協助與鼓勵，以帶給他們生存下去的希望。
身為國中、小的學生，能為罹難者或者是他們的家屬做什麼呢？一個由世界學校網 (Global SchoolNet)舉辦的活動－分享孩子們的希望(KidsShareHope)正在進行。這個活動，讓同學們可以將自己想要對罹難者或是他們的孩子說的話，透過網路，將文字、掃描的圖片或是用電腦畫下來的數位影像，寄給大會放在網頁中，藉此傳達你的慰問、關心與支持，帶給喪失親人的無辜受害者希望。(文。顏膺修)

以下是世界學校網大會來函：
Dear Friend,
It is an under statement to say that we are very shook-up by the horrible purposeful attacks on September 11, 2001.
What can we do to lessen the chance of this ever happening again?
What power do we have as educators to lead kids down a more productive path?
How can we help those kids directly affected by the tragedy?
The headquarters of the Global Schoolhouse is located San Diego area, a few miles from Camp Pendleton. During the Gulf War, thousands of Marine Corps parents of our school students left their homes with less than 24 hours notice. The children who were left behind were very distraught. But, one thing that helped them cope was to have a global outpouring of support through the emails they received from other kids around the world.
Global SchoolNet wants to help in any way we can. So, we have set up a space on the web to allow kids around the world to send their messages of hope, support, and condolences to those affected by the September 11th tragedy.
Scanned drawings and digital photos that convey hope and support will also be accepted.
These messages will be compiled and shared with the schools directly impacted by this disastrous act of terrorism.
