GPI graduation



Today is the day 48 of our GPI girls graduate from the Sunday Lesson Programme after successful completion of 3 years. It’s a great celebration with speeches, drama, singing and prize giving! The girls looked amazing in their gowns and caps

GPI News Broadcasters - they were great!







I was so proud of my “Nigerian Sister” Blessing – she won two prizes for her attendance and time=keeping and knowledge!








And I got to meet more of my adopted Nigerian Family – Aunty Peace and her child. 



The day whizzed past – I’m finally used to the rhythm of Nigerian ceremonies, and I find myself enjoying every single moment. I even had a tear in my eye, I was so proud to have been part of this. GPI has really impacted positively on the lives of these girls.
