GTL's 10th Anniversary

On August 3, 2007 Growth Through Learning celebrated its 10th anniversary with a reception honoring its Founder, Roger Whiting, at the Tatnuck Country Club in Worcester, MA, attended by past and current Board members, donors, friends, and family.

Mr. Whiting was presented with a plaque from the students of East Africa who have been able to continue their education because of the support received from GTL. The House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts recognized him with a special citation for his tireless dedication to the education of the women and children of East Africa and for demonstrating a true philanthropic spirit.

Michael Birch, former chair of the Board of Directors, spoke of the many accomplishments of GTL over the last ten years, and guests were treated to a slideshow of photographs taken by Board members during their recent visit there. The photos featured GTL students and offered glimpses of the spectacular beauty of the land and animals of East Africa.
