During our visit to the Pestalozzi International Village Trust last week, we were privileged to be invited to attend a “Business Meets Students” session. Conducted by Pestalozzi Trustee, Graham Card, several successful business people meet with the students and offer their thoughts about ambition, possibilities, achievement – and more. After the formal meeting, the visitors got to mix with the students and start to familiarise them with the idea of networking – and then join them for dinner.

As ever, it was impressive to hear the students talk about their ambitions, both with some confidence and humility. There is little doubt that the Pestalozzi International Village Trust is continuing to select the highest calibre of deserving students.
