ISL Gives Back
Thanks to the generosity of the ISL school community, over €4000 was donated last month to Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF). A percentage of these funds will go specifically to assist MSF with their efforts in dealing with the humanitarian crisis in Somalia, while the remaining funds will support MSF’s long-term efforts in other areas of the world.
ISL’s Common Fund Supports Charitable Work
A fact not well known, ISL regularly supports international charitable work through its Common Charity Fund, including educationally focused charity work in Moshi, Tanzania, which also includes annual student travel and hands on work in this area; grassroots educational efforts in Ethiopia via the NGO A-CET; as well as projects in Zimbabwe, Burundi, and Thailand.
In addition to these regularly supported projects, a certain portion of funds each year are sent to internationally active organizations which operate during emergency times to aid in rescue and relief. In past years, ISL has sent money to the International Red Cross to assist their efforts in Haiti (2010) and earlier this year, to Japan, to support their emergency efforts immediately after the earthquake and tsunami.
