While some students only watch the news and are horrified at the events that have taken place in Japan, other students at CHS are teaming up to help Japan in its time of need. The Asian American Club and the Civitans
Club are working together to sell bracelets and paper cranes to raise money and bring relief to Japan.

“We both wanted to raise money to help Japan,” said junior Hai-Li Kong, secretary of the Civitans Club. “We figured we would raise more awareness and money if we collaborated.”

The Civitans Club sold all 300 of their “Hope for Japan” bracelets for $2 each, while the Asian American Club is still working towards its goal of making 1,000 cranes.

According to Civitans president Kristie Moy, the clubs intend to raise $1,000, and according to Asian American
Club president Clara Sze, they have already raised about $800.

Although bracelets are sold out, the Asian American club is extending its part of the fundraiser so students can still get involved by helping make paper cranes.

The clubs have collaborated to capture the attention of the CHS community and show that Japan is in dire need of help.

If students would like to get involved, they can talk to either Moy or Sze to see how they can help.
