Dunblane Likhubula Partnership

It was great to hear from the Likhubula Committee of an event in the wider Likhubula area. The committee wrote: "Chambe Zone comprises of 10 full primary school, 5 junior primary schools and 3 secondary schools respectively, Chambe Secondary and Nansato Full Primary included.

Photos of the stationary being distributed can be viewed in the Photo Gallery or on the Bursary page. #bursary #chambe #friendship #photo

The most recent party was held just before Christmas at Nancy's Dream Restaurant, and we have been sent a selection of photos from the day which can be seen in the photo gallery. #friendship #photo #bursary

The members were taken through a whistle stop tour covering the history of the Partnership and the projects currently in progress.

The Partnership were very grateful to be invited. #friendship #photo
