Yesterday, April 7th 2011, AOI held a Charity Garage Sale in an effort to raise money for Earthquake and Tsunami victims of Japan. Many students donated used items throughout the past week to be displayed. We sold Pizza slices for charity as well.
Many people showed up to rummage around a classroom with isles of goods lined up on tables that are usually occupied by students. There was a sense of unity in the event as many Japanese students showed up to show support for their friends, families, and fellow Japanese people in Japan. We are excessively proud of the success of the garage sale as all proceeds go directly to the cities hit hardest by the disaster. We plan on having another Charity Garage Sale sometime in the future, we will keep you posted.
Sincerely,
Sara
