Terrific :)
Pour donner l'aide et l'espoir aux citoyens, surtout les enfants d' Haiti
Barbara they did put the numbers under the letters.
please put the names of the performers on the screen while they perform
All the help is great but does it have to be on EVERY channel on TV? :(
I think it would bve a good idea to give the full phone number as some do not have letters on the key pad on their phones
There are so many ways to help available. Here's hoping that those who don't can't.
