Poland and Warsaw in other countries

Poland in Kiribati
Kiribati is a country on the islands situated on the Pacific Ocean.
There is a little town in Kiribati called Poland.
At the beginning of 20th century Stanisław Pełczyński was working on an American ship transporting coconuts. When they arrived in Kiribati the residents of the island had problems with coconut plantations. Only Stanisław could help them. To thank him for saving the plantations they called this little town - Poland , in memory of Pełczyński. There is also The Bay of Stanisław and a church of St. Stanisław too.
Warsaws in America
In America there are many Warsaws, for example in such states as : Illinois, Kentucky, Missouri, New York, Ohio, Arkansas, and North Caroline. In the XIX and XX centuries a lot of Polish immigrants went to America looking for freedom and better life conditions. They still loved and missed their fatherland – Poland and, in memory of our country, they called many towns Warsaw.

GASP news
GASP is fifteen years old!
Our school is fifteen years old. Gasp started in 2001. First we were a small school with a few students and teachers. Now, after 15 years, there are 320 students in our school!
Maja Kaczorowska and Ola Gottfried - Great success!
Our two GASP students were awarded in a well known school contest More Than Words Festival /Konkurs Rejonowy Poezji i Piosenki Angielskiej/
This year there was the 9th edition of More Than Words Festival. The students from the whole voivodeship Pomorskie took part in the Contest. Their performances were at a very high level and that’s why the Final Show in The Old Town Hall of Gdańsk was a great experience. It was really difficult to compete with such great performers and that is why we appreciate the success of Maja Kaczorowska (3rd place) and Ola Gottfried (extra prize – wyróżnienie)!
Congratulations!!!
Hobby in GASP
MODELLING / by Jan Mikliński /
Modelling starts in human imagination. It has been so from the beginning of the world. At the moment many people build beautiful small dioramas or mobcaps, sharing their passion with others. The biggest mobcap in the World was built in Hamburg in a beautiful old warehouse Miniatur Wunderland Hamburg . It took 13t of steal and 33km of traction for trains. Over 30 computers and around 132 employees take care about it.
This group doesn’t consist of the people from art schools, but as you can see the final project is amazing.
Perheps you will be able to visit Miniatur Wunderland one day!
