IN 2011 the DGMT were delighted this year support no fewer than 5 old boys as they undertake a range of projects throughout the world that aim to improve the lives of others far less fortunate than ourselves.

MICHAEL MELLOWS (2000) joined the Emergency Department at Tribhuvan Teaching Hospital in Nepal as part of his medical elective.

JAMIE (2005) and OLIVER COOK (2003) were amongst the first team ever to row the 1,000km length of the Upper Zambezi river in order to raise money and awareness of 'Village Water' - a charity that aims to eradicate water borne diseases, and provide sanitation and education to small and remote communities in Zambia.

WILLIAM OSBORNE (2000) joined the Christian Medical College, a hospital situated in the town of Vellore in Tamil Nadu as part of his medical elective.

RONAN MELLOWS (2005) travelled to Equador to work in a community-owned conservation and eco-tourism organisation called Santa Lucia. 

We are looking forward to all boys visiting us later this academic year to share their experiences with the current pupils of St John's and in doing so to sow this seed of opportunity for the next generation of St John's old boys.

The Trust is delighted to support Jeremy Ousey in his venture entitled 'Project Huruma' which aims to provide medical assistance to some of the worse hit areas of Dar Es Salaam in Tanzania. Jeremy is currently aiming to provide clinics in with the most basic of medical equipment in order to increase the life expectancy of both children and adults. Jeremy has already spent time in Tanzania and returned to the UK recently determined to do what he could to raise awareness and funds to undertake additional future trips to the region.
