We must accept the fact that transport and communications will bring the world in close relations and the youth of the world should have standards and ideals in common. Juliette G. Low
Our
Membership has been accepted to participate in the 2011 Thinking Day Postcard
exchange
February 22, 2011 is World Thinking Day, girls participate in
activities, games, and projects with global themes to honor their sister Girl
Guides and Girl Scouts in other countries. World Thinking Day is part of the
WAGGGS Global Action Theme (GAT) based on the United Nation's Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs), which aim to improve the lives of the world's poorest
people. The theme for World Thinking Day 2011 is girls

World Thinking Day not only gives girls a chance to
celebrate international friendships, but is also a reminder that Girl Scouts of
the USA is part of a global community—one of nearly 150 countries with Girl
Guides and Girl Scouts. WAGGGS selected five countries of focus for World
Thinking Day 2011 to represent the five WAGGGS regions: Bolivia (Western Hemisphere), Cyprus(Europe), Democratic Republic of Congo (Africa), Nepal (Asia/Pacific),Yemen(Arab
Region).
Our
Brownies have the opportunity to exchange postcards with girl scouts just like
themselves around the world! This activity will complete our making connections
patch of our Journeys series.
During the
Holiday break I will be contacting the girls
to get an idea of what countries as well as states they would like to exchange
with.
Please
feel free to contact me via email with this information as well.
