International Microloans of Buffalo will be sponsoring a fundraiser next week. IMB is a student-run organization that assists entrepreneurs in developing countries through small loans. Recent Microloans were sent to individuals in Tajikistan, Ecuador, and the Philippines. Members of the IMB will be selling "Glow in the Dark" green wristbands for $2.00 a piece. Bands may be purchased each morning before homeroom and during the 15-minute break in Room 222. All proceeds will go directly to IMB so they can continue to give out loans to those in need around the world. Students should see Mr. Stewart with questions.
