Last Friday our GVP alumnae performed at Refuge Coffee Co.’s Speak Refuge, a night all about welcome. The song is titled ‘Yer Ta Oh Moo’. It’s a gospel song by Ta Tha Moo. They are singing in Karen, a Burmese language.
The chorus translates to: Oh my savior, your love for me, you bought me with your holy blood. When my sin is no match with who you are, you never forsake me.
We love it when our multitalented girls share their gifts with the community! Thanks to Kate Mull for the footage. #GVPalumnae #Singers #Musicians #WelcomeRefugees #EveryoneIsWelcome #SpeakRefuge #ClarkstonGa ... See MoreSee Less

Thanks to our parents, mentors, interpreters, alumnae, conference volunteers and staff making this a successful conference. Special thank you to our Operations Manager, Denise Reidy-Puckett, for organizing this event.

Today GVP girls visited the Google Fiber Atlanta office. Our Form 3 students spent a few hours with the Google team engaging in coding activities, games and had lunch with the staff. Students gave coding instructions to a Google staffer for practice and then applied their knowledge using a Wonder Woman video game. There was also a career panel with a few of the team members. They discussed their path to working at Google and their roles. Thanks to our volunteer and Google staffer, Mariana McCready, for coordinating this field trip with our Math Teacher, Linda Smiley. The girls thoroughly enjoyed the experience. #GoogleAtlanta #GlobalVillageProject #STEAM #Coding #GirlsThatCode ... See MoreSee Less

Today GVP hosted 8th grade students from Atlanta Girls' School for a mixer. GVP and AGS girls were able to exchange during social time and participate in a group STEAM challenge to see if their toothpick marshmallow towers could survive a jello earthquake. This was a great cultural exchange experience and loads of fun to get the two all-girls schools together. Thanks for visiting GVP, AGS! #Mixer #STEAMchallenge #GVPcollaborations #GirlsEducation #GlobalVillageProject #AtlantaGirlsSchool ... See MoreSee Less
