Our Family is Growing and we are excited and grateful! Today we will like to say a big Welcome to our new GESSL Country Coordinator Maryam Darwich!
“It is not only a pleasure but a privilege to have been approached by the GESSL to be their country co-ordinator. Having experienced first hand the summit and worked with both the mentors and the girls, I came to see just how needed the work of GESSL is.
