On the 15 & 16 March over 400 Students from the German European School Singapore (GESS) visited Vega to deliver the Kits 4 Kids bags they had gathered.
This past week was an amazing time onboard Vega. On the 15 and 16th, we had a visit from over 400 primary school children from the German European School Singapore (GESS). There were 4 groups each day over those two days. With the final group helping me to fight off a “Pirate” who together we managed to push off the bowsprit seeing as we have no “Plank” to make him walk.
Those children all took part in our new “Kits 4 Kids” program where students from an affluent school provide a school bag filled with supplies from a list we provide them with for a counterpart child living in one of the communities we assist. For a first time “Test”
