#JT130, aka 2025, has got off to a cracking start following the very productive board meeting and that fabulous Burns Supper in Belper. The recently created bespoke Powerpoint was given its first public outing at the Penpont Friendship Club on 20th February. Treasurer Maureen Halket provided her eager audience with a new journey into the living heritage which Maasai Girls Education Project demonstrates so well. After the slides and talk, plenty of questions followed, showing that the members of the local club had appreciated the talk - giving a new-take on things.

Maureen was duly thanked for her lively colourful presentation, and a generous donation for our Maasai Girls Education Project was gladly received.

Oh, and we got a QR code specifically for this website.

So what`s next for #JT130?
