Jul 18 - Youth Exchange Programme 2014
Next summer, the Youth Centre aims to participate in an international youth exchange programme and it is already begun to raise funds for this activity. On Saturday 6th July tickets for a raffle were sold outside Morrisons to raise cash for this and other upcoming youth projects.
These fundraising events themselves are invaluable vehicles which encourage and foster teamwork as well as helping to build and improve the self-confidence of the young people who participate in these events, particularly as they involve dealing with the public and fellow workers.
A Principal Auditor’s report, commissioned last year by the Government, regarding payments made by the Government to the OEM Group of Companies and Haymills (Gibraltar) Limited, was tabled in Parliament this morning.
The ESG questions the presence of HMS Tireless in Gibraltar today, a submarine that historically has created much unrest and controversy in the area. The lengthy repairs to this submarine, back in the year 2000, were also the catalyst for the formation of the ESG, then known as "Concerned Citizens". The group now addresses a wide range of local and regional environmental issues.
This morning the Royal Gibraltar Police presented its latest recruits: four police dogs that have just completed an intense 13-week training course. During a passing out parade held at Lathbury Barracks, police dog handlers displayed the various skills and abilities of the dogs which will form part of the RGP’s newly established Police Dog Section.
