AISL Participates in the Queen's Baton Relay

Three AISL Secondary students took part in the the Queen's Baton Relay 2018 (QBR18) as it passed through Zambia.  By way of background, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II launched the QBR18 at Buckingham Palace on 13 March 2017.  The launch signaled the start of an ambitious (and exciting) 388-day journey that will take the Queen’s Baton through all Commonwealth countries and territories across the globe: traversing Africa, the Americas, the Caribbean, Europe, Asia and Oceania – the longest such relay ever – before arriving in the Gold Coast, Queensland on 4 April 2018 for the opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Games.  Maddie and Joshua K. (Australia) acted as AISL's international and Commonwealth representatives each carrying the baton for a leg of the relay.  Mia P. acted as AISL's Zambian representative.  Not only is she a participant of the relay, Mia has been selected to represent Zambia by qualifying for the 2017 Commonwealth Youth Games in the Bahamas.  Congrats Mia!!!
