2020
During the week of 7-11 September 2020, GIPSVG backpacks were distributed to the successful CPEA Students north of the Rabacca River. A total of 76 students each received a backpack containing school supplies.
GIPSVG backpack initiative started in 2015 and was catered for students in the top three from each of the four primary schools above the River. Through our fund raising efforts, we were able to increase the number of backpacks to top six (6) last year. This year, with an intention not to leave any student behind, we donated to every successful CPEA student from each of the four primary schools. However, due to protocol requirements in place for Covid-19, we were unable to conduct an official presentation of the backpacks to the successful CPEA students. We sincerely thank the Principals of the Fancy, Owia, Sandy Bay and Tourama Primary Schools, for coordinating the distribution of the backpacks on our behalf.
Once again, we take this opportunity to congratulate all of the students and wish them the very best in their new academic journey.
