A helping hand for Japan

After learning about the tragic events in Japan, Japanese teacher Shawn De Haven of Everett Alvarez High wanted to fight against the feeling of powerlessness and help the country where he lived for six years. Along with the Japanese Club, De Haven put together a fundraiser drive where everyone at the school was asked to donate at least a dollar. The Japanese Club and the Link Crew went around the school after lunch and together were able to raise $1,866 for the Red Cross. They’ll sent the money by the end of this week.
