Peace, love and respect to you all,” Ian Gillan’s said to students in a written letter.
“Dear headmaster, teachers and pupils! I’m afraid my work schedule has prevented me from coming to see you. Nevertheless, I’d like to send you my congratulations on your first year anniversary. It’s amazing that what started as a conversation with lan Gillan has now become a building and successful school. People all over the world know about you and have contributed to the rebuilding.
