CELEBRATING 20 YEARS & WELCOME CATHERINE & DARON

A warm welcome for Catherine and Daron to Devon and a celebration of Imprezza and its 20 years of offering equal opportunity secondary education to students who could not pay school fees. Thank you Catherine and team for all your dedication over the years from all supporters in the UK. A life changing 'thank you' to you from the well over 2,000 students who have benefitted from attending Imprezza.
Catherine and Daron are mixing this trip with a bit of holiday and lots of visiting and speaking.

Catherine will be joining us on MONDAY 23RD JANUARY to celebrate twenty years of educating some of the most deprived students in Kenya, first in Nairobi and latterly in her home region of Western Kenya. It would give Catherine and the trustees great pleasure if you could join us for this celebration which is kindly being hosted by Torquay Girls Grammar School, our sister school in the UK. The evening starts around 6.30 p.m. and is due to end by 8.30 p.m. No tickets are required. Just please inform the school, by Friday 20th January if possible, that you are attending so we have some idea of numbers for catering purposes.

The format of the evening will include a slide presentation of where the school has come from and where it is today as well as some thoughts about the future. Catherine will be the main speaker with some contributions from one or two others closely associated with Operation Imprezza. Some of the students will provide music and during the proceedings there will be a short break for refreshments.

Meetings arranged so far:

Sunday 22 January 10.30am - Teignmouth Baptist Church – Catherine speaking

Monday 23rd January 6.30pm - Torquay Girls Grammar School celeberation of the 20 years of Imprezza and TGGS ongoing links to Imprezza. All welcome.

In addition Catherine will be visiting schools, Rotary Clubs and various other meetings, even “breaking” in to a Men’s Breakfast.

We are trying to see as many people as possible, so if those dates don’t work contact Chris at info@operation-imprezza.org or call him on 07764 496819 to see if there is anything we can do. We can’t promise it will work out, but we promise to try!

CONGRATULATIONS TO CATHERINE!

Catherine was recently elected to the National Ministry of Public Service as the Hon. County Representative for Busia in which Imprezza Academy is situated. She achieved 129,000 votes which was a hugely significant number of votes. The issues of women's rights and that of young people is very dear to her and something she has and continues to promote through the values at Imprezza Academy. Catherine will continue to devote her time to the continued success of the school as they approach their 20th anniversary next year, another huge milestone. Well done Catherine.
