Northboro, MA, September 28, 2004 - IntraLearn Software
Corporation, the leading supplier of configurable e-Learning software applications,
announced today that it has donated IntraLearn XE to Habitat for Humanity University

the world how to build homes.
Habitat for Humanity International is a non-profit, non-denominational Christian
housing organization that builds simple, decent, and affordable houses in partnership
with those who lack adequate shelter.

900,000 people worldwide. Now at work in 100 countries, they are building a house
every 26 minutes. By the end of calendar year 2005, Habitat houses will be sheltering
one million people.
“My long-term vision is that Habitat for Humanity University identify and nurture
the next generation of leaders in the movement to eliminate sub-standard housing
worldwide…and be on the cutting edge of trends in eliminating poverty housing,”
said Millard Fuller, president and founder of Habitat. “The IntraLearn system will
go a long way in helping to get us there.” For more information, visit wwww.hfhu.org.
