## **Objectives and activities**
## **Our vision**
A world where human and animal suffering are minimised, and the future of our planet is safeguarded by effectively harnessing the goodwill of people who share our vision.
## **The Globalteer mission**
Globalteer's mission is to support local community development initiatives in underprivileged areas in order to create a more equal society. We do this by creating community-led projects and providing resources to partner NGOs, so we can accomplish goals that serve our shared vision.
To make our mission and vision reality, Globalteer has two key charitable objectives which are:
- To promote sustainable development for the benefit of the public by the relief of poverty and the improvement of the conditions of life in socially disadvantaged communities. Sustainable development means “development which meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs”; and
- To promote humane behaviour towards animals by providing appropriate care, protection, treatment, and security for animals which are in need of attention by reason of sickness, maltreatment, poor circumstances or ill usage, and to educate the public in matters pertaining to animal welfare in general and the prevention of cruelty and suffering among animals.
These objectives are achieved by supporting selected community, wildlife and conservation projects in Southeast Asia and Latin America, and through the management of community-based projects in Cambodia and Peru.
All of Globalteer’s activities follow both the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and their guidance on prevention and relief of poverty. The trustees also ensure that all activity we undertake is in line with our charitable aims and objectives.
In addition, Globalteer continually strives to take an ethical and responsible approach to everything we undertake, ensuring our activities are delivered without detriment to the communities we work with and in such a way that we make a positive contribution to local economies in the countries where we operate. To this end, where practical, we seek to source labour, materials and supplies locally in order to ensure that the benefits of our work are maximised.
This approach underpins local businesses, local employment prospects and the viability of the local community. Wherever we employ external staff and volunteers, we work alongside the local workforce, never instead of them, and we pass on relevant skills and expertise wherever possible.

## **Report of the trustees**
## **For the year ended 30 June 2024**
## **Our values**
- Equality: We believe all children should have equal access to education and opportunities regardless of their gender, background or where they live. We also recognise that girls and women in our communities are still relegated at times, so our work supports and empowers women and girls in particular;
- Respect: We treat our communities, children, colleagues, animals and environment with respect, valuing different perspectives, experiences, feelings, wishes, rights, cultures or traditions. Teaching our children to respect all around them, as well as nature and animals, is a cornerstone of our education initiatives;
- Sustainability: Sustainable development projects meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. This ensures that current issues are addressed in ways that, not only leave resources, but also create additional resources and opportunities, for the future;
- Community: Our communities are central to our work and play a key role in the development of our initiatives. We understand that collaborative projects involving communities in the identification of issues and decision making, will be more successful and sustainable than those designed and implemented purely by outsiders;
- Safety: We believe that all people and animals have the right to feel safe in the spaces they inhabit. Globalteer ensures that children grow up safe from harm and are protected at and outside our projects, animals are given the care and protection they need, and all stakeholders feel comfortable and secure at our projects; and
- Compassion: Compassion is what propels us to support those in need, connect with individuals and communities and serve them with empathy and dignity.
## **Achievements and performance**
## **Community projects**
Globalteer remains steadfast in its mission to uplift underprivileged communities through dedicated administrative and financial support. In Cambodia and Peru, our efforts have continued to make a profound impact, ensuring that essential services reach those who need them most. Globalteer also provided volunteers who contributed by working with local staff at the projects to make progress on their goals of lifting underprivileged and vulnerable communities from poverty and providing them with a chance at a better future.
Our dedicated volunteers play an invaluable role, working alongside local teams to drive meaningful progress in poverty alleviation and community development. Every partnership we establish includes strict adherence to our Child Protection Policy, ensuring that vulnerable children receive the highest standard of care and safeguarding.
## Cambodia
## Helping Hands Cambodia
Helping Hands Cambodia continues to transform lives in rural Siem Reap by providing free supplementary education, university scholarships, nutritious meals, and healthcare. This year, we proudly supported approximately 300 children daily, with half receiving a nutritious breakfast each morning—fuelling their academic performance and overall well-being.
A key contributor to the breakfast programme is our school farm, which has successfully expanded its range of fresh produce, further diversifying the children’s meals. The impact of this initiative extends beyond nutrition, fostering agricultural knowledge and sustainable food production skills.

## **Globalteer**
## **Report of the trustees**
## **For the year ended 30 June 2024**
We also celebrate the ongoing success of our scholarship recipients, who are pursuing degrees in subjects such as Business and Agriculture.
To enhance the quality of education, our teachers participated in workshops focused on selfawareness, character building, and effective classroom management. These initiatives ensure that educators are well-equipped to nurture students academically and emotionally.
## Globalteer Sports Programme
This programme fosters not only physical well-being but also social awareness, with key initiatives including:
- An annual sports festival;
- An empowerment programme for girls;
- Collaboration with rural schools to integrate sports into education; and
- A 'sport for impact' initiative, addressing critical issues such as children’s rights, gender equality, and drug awareness through sports.
We take immense pride in the progress and reach of this programme and look forward to its continued growth.
## Peru
## Picaflor House Community Project
Since its establishment in 2010, Picaflor House has remained a cornerstone of community development in Oropesa, near Cusco. This year, we provided after-school education and holistic support to approximately 60 children, offering academic assistance, sports, arts, and a daily nutritious meal.
The need for this programme arises due to the fact that the children’s parents work long hours in order to provide for their families, meaning that the children are left unattended and unsupervised in the afternoon. The lack of supervision has unintended consequences which are harmful for the children, from not being fed after school to having the children wandering the streets all day, which could place the children in vulnerable positions. Picaflor House thus offers the children a refuge from being in the streets, a nutritious meal, and academic support to ensure that the children maintain their grades at school. This last point is crucial in the children being able to reach their potential in adulthood because parents often pull them out of school to engage in child labour if they have poor grades. Helping them to maintain their grades not only keeps the children away from performing child labour, but it also keeps them in school so that they are able to reach their potential as adults.
Recognising the need for broader community support, we launched health initiatives including vision screenings for children struggling with undiagnosed eye conditions.
## Mobile Library Project
Originally launched during the COVID-19 pandemic, our Mobile Library Project has been instrumental in addressing educational gaps for children in rural Cusco. The project takes books, teachers and resources to children living in rural villages to improve their literacy and create a love of reading.
## Women’s Empowerment Programme
Empowering women and girls continues to be a priority for Globalteer. In addition to supporting female entrepreneurship, we introduced a dedicated class at Picaflor House, designed to challenge gender stereotypes and inspire girls to pursue their ambitions with confidence.

Wildlife, animal welfare and conservation projects
Globalteer remains deeply engaged in wildlife conservation, animal welfare, and environmental protection across Southeast Asia and Latin America. Our partnerships support ethical elephant sanctuaries, marine conservation efforts, and wildlife rehabilitation initiatives, ensuring sustainable conservation practices and humane animal treatment.
## Peru Dog Welfare (PAWS)
Through our Peru Animal Welfare Society (PAWS), we continue to tackle Cusco’s street dog overpopulation crisis with health, vaccination, and neutering campaigns. Our education efforts, including targeted workshops for children, promote responsible pet ownership and foster compassionate community attitudes towards animal welfare. The programme’s success is evident through increased community engagement and ongoing donor support.
## **Grant success**
This year, we successfully secured over £108,000 in grants to sustain and expand our key programmes, including Cambodia Sports, PAWS, Picaflor House, and Helping Hands Cambodia. These funds are instrumental in ensuring the long-term sustainability of our initiatives.
## **Goals for the coming year**
As we look ahead to 2024/2025, Globalteer remains committed to:
## Cambodia
- Expanding the Globalteer Sports Programme to reach more children in rural areas; and
- Developing our Child Protection Programme at the Helping Hands School, continuing with our commitment and responsibility to keep the children in the communities we work in safe. Globalteer also aims to continue educating children about the different ways that they can keep themselves safe when they are outside the classroom and at their most vulnerable. Globalteer plans to expand the Child Protection Programme to other schools in the area where such a programme does not exist in order to protect vulnerable children.
## Peru
- Continuing PAWS' neutering and healthcare campaigns in Cusco;
- Expanding responsible pet ownership initiatives;
- Enhancing support for Picaflor House students and families;
- Advancing our women's empowerment curriculum; and
- ▪ Continue and expand the Mobile Library Project.
## Worldwide
- Enhancing social media engagement to increase awareness and support;
- Attracting more volunteer groups from universities and schools;
- Strengthening Globalteer's ethical volunteering credentials;
- Expanding monthly donor programmes for financial sustainability;
- Refining our internship programme to attract top global talent;
- Providing continued support to our international partner organisations;
- Improving project monitoring, evaluation and reporting; and
- Increasing Globalteer's income through strategic fundraising and corporate partnerships.

## **Report of the trustees**
## **For the year ended 30 June 2024**
## **Looking Ahead**
Globalteer remains unwavering in its commitment to fostering positive change through ethical, sustainable initiatives. Our collective impact continues to grow, thanks to the dedication of our staff, volunteers, and supporters. With renewed passion and strategic focus, we are confident in achieving even greater milestones in the coming year.
## **Financial review**
Our accounts for the year ended 30 June 2024 show income of £227,674 (2023: £276,256) against expenditure of £263,066 (2023: £238,300), resulting in a deficit for the year of £35,392, of which there was a deficit of £34,742 in unrestricted funds and a deficit of £650 in restricted funds. Income and expenditure increased by around 20% and 10% on the previous year, respectively. At year end, the charity had unrestricted funds in deficit of £26,052 (2023: in surplus of £8,690) and restricted funds in surplus of £64,666 (2023: £65,316).
## **Going concern**
The trustees have assessed the financial sustainability of the charity and consider that it will continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. This assessment is based on the following factors:
- The charity’s principal funder has confirmed continued restricted funding for our Cambodia Sports Programme until early 2025, including provisions for Globalteer’s administrative costs. A further extension of this three-year grant through to 2028 is currently under review;
- The charity has established relationships with several grant-making organisations that provide recurring annual funding;
- Globalteer continues to actively seek additional grants to support its operations. We have already secured new grants in the current financial year and have strong prospects for further funding, given our established relationships with grant providers;
- Cost-saving measures have been implemented, including a reduction in staff numbers;
- The resumption of international travel and the re-establishment of flight routes, along with decreasing travel costs, have led to an increase in volunteer and internship bookings for the coming year. We anticipate further growth in these numbers, contributing to increased income;
- The charity continues to expand its own projects and initiatives, reducing reliance on volunteer placements and diversifying income streams;
- The development of a more structured conduit funding process to support partner organisations is expected to generate additional administrative fee income;
- Our Group Volunteering programme, which hosts groups from universities, schools, and other organisations, has proven successful. We are currently in discussions with new and returning groups from the UK, USA, and other regions; and
- The expansion of our internship programme is helping to reduce costs while also providing additional operational support.
Based on these considerations, the trustees deem it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.
## **Reserves policy**
The charity continues with strategies for increasing income, with the objective to steadily increase reserves to a level of three to six months expenditure. The trustees estimate 3 months’ worth of expenses to be approximately £66k. Free reserves at the year-end were £8,444.

## **Globalteer**
## **Report of the trustees**
## **For the year ended 30 June 2024**
## **Structure, governance and management** Governing document
The charity is a company limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006, which was incorporated on 7 June 2006 and registered as a charity on 18 June 2007.
## Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
Trustee recruitment is advertised on the Globalteer website and at the project locations when required. The prospective trustee skills and motivation are assessed to ensure they are in line with Globalteer's requirements. All trustees are DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) checked as the work carried out by Globalteer involves vulnerable children.
## Induction and training of new trustees
New trustees will be inducted into the organisation by the general manager including access to all policies, governing documents, accounts and meeting minutes. Further relevant information such as the Charity Commission website and Companies House website shall also be supplied.
## Related parties
None of the trustees has any beneficial interest in the charity. Our trustees are unpaid and details of trustee expenses and any related party transactions are disclosed in the notes to the accounts.
## **Risk management**
Globalteer's administration, financial accounting and fundraising is managed from the UK by the board of trustees with the assistance of the general manager.
The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.
Major risks to the charity are as follows:
- Currency falls and gains – the charity has maintained a buffer in the current exchange rates that are used, which prevents losses when there is a fall in the British pound; and
- Travel disruption – As most of our funds are conditional on people being able to travel overseas, any disruption in travel can have a major effect on the charity. It is considered that the disruption is likely to only be regional as a result of natural disaster or disease outbreak. As Globalteer operates in 9 different countries and two continents, marketing will be transferred to promote unaffected locations.
## **Statement of responsibilities of the trustees**
The trustees (who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102: The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
7
## **Globalteer**
## **Report of the trustees**
## **For the year ended 30 June 2024**
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the income and expenditure of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
Members of the charity guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 to the assets of the charity in the event of winding up. The trustees are members of the charity but this entitles them only to voting rights. The trustees have no beneficial interest in the charity.
## **Independent examiners**
Godfrey Wilson Limited were re-appointed as independent examiners to the charitable company during the year and have expressed their willingness to continue in that capacity.

## **Independent examiner's report**
## **To the trustees of**
## **Globalteer**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Globalteer (the charitable company) for the year ended 30 June 2024, which are set out on pages 10 to 24.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the trustees of the charitable company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’).
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the charitable company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the charitable company's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
- (1) accounting records were not kept in respect of the charitable company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
- (2) the accounts do not accord with those records; or
- (3) the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view' which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
- (4) the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
Attention is drawn to the fact that at 30 June 2024, the charity's unrestricted funds were in deficit by £26,052. Whilst this presents a material uncertainty in relation to the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, for the reasons set out in accounting policy 1(b), the trustees consider it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis for the preparation of these accounts.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **Globalteer**
## **Notes to the financial statements**
## **For the year ended 30 June 2024**
## **1. Accounting policies**
## **a) Basis of preparation**
Globalteer is a charitable company limited by guarantee registered in England and Wales. The registered office address is Old Mill Cottage, Mill Hill, Stoke Gabriel, Totnes, Devon, TQ9 6RD.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities in preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
Globalteer meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.
## **b) Going concern basis of accounting**
The charity has unrestricted reserves in deficit of £26k, however unrestricted net current assets are in surplus by £8k, and the charity holds cash of £91k at year-end. In 2025, the charity received an extension for a restricted grant totaling over £262k over three years, which includes provisions for administrative costs generated by the charity.
Additionally, the charity has established relationships with several grant-making organisations that provide recurring annual funding, and we continue to actively seek additional grants to support our operations. We have already secured new grants in the current financial year and have strong prospects for further funding, given our ongoing relationships with grant providers.
To ensure financial sustainability, we have implemented cost-saving measures, including a reduction in staff numbers. At the same time, the resumption of international travel and the reestablishment of flight routes, along with decreasing travel costs, have led to an increase in volunteer and internship bookings for the coming year. We anticipate further growth in these numbers, which will contribute to increased income.
The charity is also expanding its own projects and initiatives, reducing reliance on volunteer placements and diversifying income streams. Additionally, the development of a more structured conduit funding process to support partner organisations is expected to generate additional administrative fee income.
Our Group Volunteering programme, which hosts groups from universities, schools, and other organisations, has proven successful. We are currently in discussions with new and returning groups from the UK, USA, and other regions. The expansion of our internship programme is further helping to reduce costs while also providing additional operational support.
For these reasons, the trustees consider that the charity has sufficient cash flow to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from the date on which these financial statements are approved.

## **Globalteer**
## **Notes to the financial statements**
## **For the year ended 30 June 2024**
## **1. Accounting policies (continued)**
## **c) Conduit funding**
The charity does not include income and expenditure in the SOFA for project partners for whom they act as agent by collecting donations and passing them on. The amount of such income and expenditure for the year ended 30 June 2024 was £170,094 (2023: £130,720).
## **d) Income**
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the items of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Income from the government and other grants, whether 'capital' grants or 'revenue' grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.
Income received in advance of volunteer placements is deferred until criteria for income recognition are met.
## **e) Donated services and facilities**
Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item, is probable and the economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), general volunteer time is not recognised.
On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.
## **f) Interest receivable**
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity: this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.
## **g) Funds accounting**
Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of the charity. Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity's work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity.
## **h) Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT**
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

## **1. Accounting policies (continued) i) Allocation of support and governance costs**
Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Governance costs are the costs associated with the governance arrangements of the charity, including the costs of complying with constitutional and statutory requirements and any costs associated with the strategic management of the charity’s activities. These costs have been allocated between cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities on the following basis, being staff time spent on each activity:
||**2024**|2023|
|---|---|---|
|Raising funds|**5%**|5%|
|Charitable activities - kids and community|**65%**|65%|
|Charitable activities - wildlife and conservation|**30%**|30%|
## **j) Tangible fixed assets**
Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write down the cost of each asset to its estimated residual value over its expected useful life. The depreciation rates in use are as follows:
Motor vehicles 3 years
Items of equipment are capitalised where the purchase price exceeds £500.
## **k) Interest in subsidiaries**
The charity has a controlling interest in another entity, Picaflor House (registered Peruvian NGO no. 11106709) as well as Helping Hands Cambodia (registered Cambodian NGO no.007 with the Ministry of Interior). The charity has opted not to produce consolidated accounts as total consolidated income was less than £1 million during the year.
## **l) Debtors**
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
## **m) Cash at bank and in hand**
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
## **n) Creditors**
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
## **o) Financial instruments**
The charitable company only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently recognised at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

## **Notes to the financial statements**
## **For the year ended 30 June 2024**
## **1. Accounting policies (continued)**
## **p) Pension costs**
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme for the general manager. There are no further liabilities other than that already recognised in the SOFA.
## **q) Foreign currency transactions**
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Balances denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing at the year end.
## **r) Accounting estimates and key judgements**
In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
The key sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are described below.
## **Depreciation**
As described in note 1j to the financial statements, depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write down the cost of each asset to its estimated residual value over its expected useful life.

## **Purposes of restricted funds**
The SOL Foundation The funds from this grant are used to provide sports education to thousands of (Cambodia Sport children in Siem Reap, Cambodia who would otherwise have no access to Programme) sports training or facilities. With the grant, we manage a regular sports programme at Helping Hands Cambodia School, run a yearly tournament, have begun a girls’ empowerment programme, collaborate with rural schools to improve sport as part of children’s education, and run a “Sports for Social Impact” aspect, where children learn about social issues such as children’s rights, gender equality and drug abuse in conjunction with sport. The Sol Foundation’s mission is to inculcate sports for development programmes including qualities of leadership and loyalty, sportsmanship, competitive ambition and drive for academic excellence, as well as discipline, fair play and respect. These are also our objectives for the programme. The most recent installation of the grant is for a three-year extension of the programme.
The Summerlee The funds from this grant are for a one year supply of medicines and veterinary Foundation supplies for Globalteer’s mobile veterinary clinic and dog welfare programme in Cusco, Peru (“PAWS”). The funds will be used for sterilisations, vaccinations, parasite medications and other treatments during our health campaigns for animals in the rural villages surrounding Cusco during the next financial year.
