www.giffordhighschool.org up and running

I'm pleased to announce that the Gifford High School website is up and running.  Its a skeleton - work in progress.  At least we now have something to build on.  Its been a struggle to get here as time has been a real challenge.  In order to move forward the Gifford Initiative has had to outsource the development of the website.  An Gifford Old Boy came to the rescue - together with a 50% discount as a contribution towards the Gifford Initiatives work.  Thank you Clive Hamalala of Dealona Technologies 

Gifford Resources on Web

I am totally blown away by links I got from Herbert Muzdzamba.  I had searched for it but never found it.  Gifford High School has been on the web for years.  Check these fantastic links out.

Gifford's current history needs to be put on the net in order to preserve if for future generations.  The Gifford Initiative will work towards this.
