James Gillespie's High School in Edinburgh, Scotland is part of a long-term Global Citizenship project in partnership with Zwelibanzi and Dloko High Schools in Umlazi township, South Africa. Each year a group of staff and students from JGHS raise funds and collect donations to support the development of the South African schools and participate in an annual visit to Durban in February. This blog has been set up to help share news and information about the project.

S1 Halloween Party
The S1 Halloween Party raised £175 for the South Africa fund (£350 in total). Well done to those involved... not sure who enjoyed it more, the S1 or the S6!
Remember to let the staff know about any money you have raised so we can add this to the total.
