Learning does not end at high school graduation. Instead, it is a life-long commitment. As such, GPI is committed to supporting educational initiatives that support children and adults. It is never to late for people to realize their full potential and maximize the contribution that they can make to society. We should never give up on people who wish to improve their lives and the lives of their families.
