| ILSC Global "Help Japan" Campaign Raises over $30,000 for Red Cross
As a global language school, ILSC teaches students from around the world, and Japanese students generally make up between 10-15% of the student body. Being away from home during the earthquake and tsunami crisis has been a challenge for these students. Many of them have gone through the stress of wondering what is going on back home, and what they can do to help. On March 16th, ILSC started a fundraising campaign to contribute to the Japan relief efforts, and give students, staff and teachers the opportunity to get involved. The global "Help Japan" campaign raised $15,357 over a two-week period which is being matched by ILSC, for a total Red Cross contribution of $30,715.
