Our regular support both through activities and personal donations has been steady, allowing us to go ahead with projects planned. It is also looking very positive for the up coming trip in November 2022. I would personally like to thank all our trustees and loyal supporters for that continued support which has enabled us to carry on building and expanding the work of GPO. I look forward to the next trip and to seeking out a fresh vision for our charity as it moves forward with fresh faces and new projects, particularly the ‘selffunding’ ones. ## **List of Nursery Schools GPO support** Sinchu (Little Gems 1 and Little Gems 2 (the annex) Mary’s Little Lambs Nursery School, Kololi.
