IH London makes a song and dance for Children in Need

During November students and teachers at IH London raised money for Children in Need.
 
The fun started with a charity bakesale and ended with the fantastic IH's Got Talent show - with lots of raffles and games inbetween! These events raised £1308.79 for Children in Need - the amount was doubled by IH London to £2617.58. Check out our photos and videos below for some of the highlights.

Charity bakesale for Save the Children's East Africa Appeal

This week IH London teachers and students organised a bakesale to raise money for Save the Children's East Africa appeal. Together we raised an incredible £461 - that's a lot of cakes.

How IH London raised £2390.40 for the Japanese Red Cross!

Here's IH London student Tomoko outside the Japanese Embassy yesterday. Tomoko and Nobuyuki from Student Services were at the Embassy to present a cheque for £2390.40 to the Japanese Red Cross relief appeal.


To raise the money IH London students and staff got together for a special Help Japan event at the school. It was a chance to try out our origami and calligraphy skills, to play games (picking up beads with chopsticks is as hard as you'd think), to sing karaoke and to eat sushi and specially decorated cupcakes.


Check out the IH London photostream for more photos of the afternoon. There was also a raffle with some impressive prizes that went a long way to helping us raise £1465.20 on the day. Then IH London matched that amount bringing us to our grand total.

All around the event, students and staff displayed pictures and videos to show how Japan was affected by the disaster. The images were a reminder of why raising money was so important - and a worthwhile reason to buy more cupcakes.
