Several IB students have created a community service project in conjunction with the United Nations Landmine Initiative.  Over the past two years, IB students have raised more than $13,000 to clear a minefield in Mozambique.  On Oct. 20, Zach Hudson, from the United Nations, will visit IB students to discuss their work with the landmine initiative.
