bureaucratic hurdles and to mediate between the family and the Ghanaian

Collegio Valdese and the Leys School
In the last three years, thanks to the
Chaplain, Rev Clifford Meharry, six
students of Collegio Valdese, the
only Protestant Grammar School
in Italy – built with the money
raised by our Committee under the
guidance of Canon Stephen Gilly –
have been able to spend two weeks
at the Leys School (Methodist) in
Cambridge. It was full immersion
into famous public-school life plus,
thanks to Clifford, cultural and
tourists visits to Cambridge, Lon-
don and Ely, where, as well as the
splendid cathedral, a great attrac-
tion was Oliver Cromwell’s House.
Jacopo Grognardi and Kyle
Rivoira came in 2016; Monica Co-
lombo and Chiara Gisondi were
the 2017 guests, and this year there
were Beatrice Congiu and Arianna
Veglio. Everything was
a great success. Rev.
Meharry and his wife
Lynda hope to visit Col-
legio Valdese and the
Valleys next year.
