Sophy Gray Memorial Gathering

On Thursday, 8 August 2019 we hosted the first Sophy Gray Memorial Gathering for Georgian Girls (developing the women of the world). The gathering showcased some of our OG Girls and helped to build relationships across the generation divide.

Thank you to Donna (Boyd) Galloway (OG 2002), Nzinga Qunta (OG 2001), Michelle Basson (OG 2004) and Ayesha Camroodien (2012) for making the time to spend the day with the Girls of the Future and sharing their stories and experiences. The young ladies were very engaged with the Old Georgians and the feedback has been extremely positive.

Plans are on the way for the 2020 gathering, Save the date and keep an eye out for the invitations for the next event.
