Four of our Board members (Jeanne Lynch, Mary Schwartz, Donna Lazorik, and Judith Nielsen) traveled to East Africa in May and visited our GTL Regional Coordinators in Uganda (Sr. Salome Nambi), Kenya (Dr. Florence Nyamu), and Tanzania (Ms. Zainab Tekway Sige). GTL held its first conference in Africa, where all three of GTL’s Regional Coordinators met each other for the first time. The daylong conference in Kampala, Uganda was facilitated by the four Board members. As part of the agenda the Regional Coordinators reviewed and provided input into the draft of GTL’s strategic plan.
The Board members also traveled to all of the schools in East Africa, meeting with the headmistresses and, of course, the wonderful and inspiring girls who are our scholarship recipients. Stay tuned for more in-depth information about the GTL East Africa experience in our fall newsletter.
