SO?!!

You probably know that an explosion two weeks ago at a federal office building in Oklahoma City killed, injured and left many people missing.

How long it will take people in Oklahoma City to get back to their regular lives is not known. It is hardest on those who knew people who were hurt or killed or whose moms and dads are working extra hours in hospitals and on rescue jobs.

For schoolchildren, there is school in Oklahoma City, many with special schedules and meetings to talk about what happened.

If you're interested in helping the children of Oklahoma City who survived the explosion, here are addresses of some of the groups that are taking aid. You will want an adult to make the call and handle any money.

You can send money to:

The American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund, Box 37243, Washington, D.C. 20013.

The B'nai B'rith Disaster Relief Fund, 1640 Rhode Island Ave. NW., Washington, D.C. 20036.

Catholic Charities USA, Oklahoma Explosion, Disaster Response Office, 1731 King St., Alexandria, Va. 22314.
