This Is Never Been So Yet Since Press Club Was Established In The School. Their Due Paid Is Seriously Impacting Them Positively And Solving Some Of The Problems On Ground.

This Is A Gradual Change. We Don't Give Them A Fish But Teach Them How To Fish And Also Teach Them How To Manage The Fish. This Requires Passion, Innovation And Consistency.

They Are Doing Their Own Without Relaxing On The School Administration.

Great Change And Impact Made.

Congratulations to Free Pentecostal Global Mission School System for their news presentation. This is a real change and demonstration of impact. When a visionary is somewhere the light shines through him. Leader without impact is not a leader but looter.

Amos De Anointed Challay Jr is the press coordinator who gives light. He is impactful and stagnated to improving his children through press related activities on campus.

If it wasn't Amos De Anointed Challay Jr. by now no active or effective press club, if also it wasn't De Anointed Challay Jr by now no connection with SPAL this academic year.

With their strong relationship with us, surely they will reach their full potential with respect.

SPAL continues support to the TEAM
