Tsunami inspires widespread, heartfelt student volunteerism Students, teachers, and parents have come together in an effort to raise money for the tsunami disaster reiief fund. A goal of $8,000 was set and exceeded: Grimsley raised around $12,000, earning students a special double lunch. By Willie Gibson Reporter Members of the Inter-club Council, under the direction of Ms. Jenny Enright, coordinated efforts among school clubs to raise money for the American Red Cross Tsunami Relief Fund. Principal Rob Gasparello supports the effort, promising a double lunch, provided that students do their best to meet a goal of $8,000. Students on campus have been worrying about family and friends who were in locations affected by this natural disaster, including all countries between Thailand and East Africa. Junior Emily Farrar has been quite concerned about her friend and previous classmate, Alexandra Schatten, who currently lives in Bangkok, Thailand. Farrar received a call on Jan. 10 from Schatten to assure Farrar that her family is safe; however, her father was involved in a bad car accident due to the tsunami. He is recovering from a rib fracture. Unfortunately Schatten's teacher was not as fortunate; his wife was killed, and his three-year-old twin sons are still missing. "[This] hits close to home, but I am just glad my Alex is okay," said Farrar. Senior Suzie Wright has been very involved with Inter-club Council's efforts to aid the tsunami victims. "I was very pleased when Grimsley decided to have a collection for the tsunami victims," said Wright. "It's very inspiring to see my peers donating money when probably they would rather spend it on CDs." While Wright believed that many students contributed to the fund because of the principal's incentive for a double lunch period, ".. .simply the existence of the collection indicates that teenagers really are capable of having humanitarian concerns and an awareness of the state of the world outside the United States." The tsunami traveled at more than 350 miles per hour, hitting and moving the island of Sumatra, which currently holds the highest death toll of all the disaster-stricken places, 100 feet. The US is involved with the international effort by sending $350 million and numerous helicopters for transporting people and provisions. Australia has pledged to send $764.5 million to help rebuild and restore homes of the tsunami victims, and Germany donated $660 million. President Bush has personally donated over $10,000 to the cause.
