Testimonial
I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you for welcoming my baby into your program this year. She truly has gained a greater perspective of her rich culture, history, and heritage. She has always been fond of affirmations and because of GLMPI, they have become part of her routine. She also made valuable connections, friendships, and have new experiences. I am extremely appreciative of your support for her. May your service receive the acknowledgment & investment it is so deeply warranted."
