17.01.2022 Knowledge comes from hearing and hearing comes from reading. Reading has proven both past and present to be the most efficient path to knowledge. Here is what GLAPD wants you to know now.

16.01.2022 We continue with the messages from our volunteers. Today is the turn of Amédée. Please listen to what he has to say about volunteering at GLAPD. He also invites you to join the team if you believe in what we do. Click on the link to register http://glapd.org.au/Become_a_Volunteer/ #volunteering #settlement #africans

15.01.2022 Our new library is full of great reads. Thank you to Lycée Condorcet for donating the French books and thank you to our volunteers for making this possible. Some words from our two volunteers who built the library: It was a great experience to build something that will spread knowledge to every single person who attends this place. We need to read to keep us informed. I think it’s a great idea to include a play area for kids to make it more welcoming. It looks much bet...ter when they can sit down and relax. #reading #books #library #volunteering #volunteer Lycée Condorcet Sydney - International French School

Among topics discussed in the recent community consultation: bridging intergenerational gap by leaving a cultural legacy to the young ones, preventing social isolation by organising excursions, outings and mingles with Aussie seniors, healthy lifestyle and retirement plans.
