What does this theme really want to do?
World Thinking Day gives non-Girl Guides and Girl Scouts around the world a chance to experience what it is like to be a Girl Guide and Girl Scout no matter where they may be.
Its aim is to improve the lives of the less fortunate around the world.
How then can we help support this idea?
By donating to the World Thinking Day Fund, WAGGGS provides grants to some selected countries.
With our support, girls all over the world may be given the chance of education and a chance to develop leadership skills.
In many countries, girls are seen as the less important gender. Many girls around the world do not have the chance for education as much as they want to have.
Often, these girls have big dreams to realize but are crushed as they are tied down by poverty or the hardships they face. Therefore, the activities organized by the WAGGGS hope to achieve universal primary education.
A good example is Ms Anna Pettman.
Earlier this year, Ms. Anna Pettman , a Guider from the UK, came to visit KCGG.
We sang her 'Welcome' song to give her a warm welcome to KCGG.
At the same time, a few guides served as hostesses to Ms. Pettman as they were working on their 'Hostess' badge. We were indeed very privileged to have met her! Ms. Pettman may have to use a wheelchair to get around , but that doesn't mean she does anything less than us. In fact, Ms. Pettman goes swimming, diving, and many,many more amazing things.
Ms. Pettman is truly a great example to follow. Despite her disability, she isn't afraid of taking on new challenges, be it sports, etc. She goes to show that every child has a right to be what they aspire to be, be it to become a teacher, a doctor, or to simply make a difference in the world and should not be deprived of anything less than any other child .
OUR TAKEAWAYS:
EDUCATION FOR ALL.... THIS MEANS THAT EVERYONE HAS A RIGHT TO EDUCATION AND HAS A DREAM ...EVEN THE LESS FORTUNATE IN THE WORLD.... NEVER LET A SMALL SETBACK STOP YOU FROM DOING ANYTHING.
