Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page!!

 

I have recently been selected to join a team of six young women to represent Girlguiding UK on a GOLD (Guiding Overseas Linked with Development) project in Tanzania in Summer 2011. Our team will be responsible for recruiting young women and delivering training to allow them to become Guide Leaders in the local area. 

 

The Tanzania Girl Guides Association have difficulty training and retaining young women to lead Girl Guides, therefore Girlguiding UK have set up a five year GOLD project, with Summer 2011 being the third year, to promote Guiding and teach young women the benefit Guiding can have to them as individuals and in the community.

 

Girl Guides in Tanzania will be encouraged to identify the needs in their community and plan their programme around those requirements; examples of which include teaching young mothers the importance of nutrition, supporting children with disabilities and working towards a curriculum which raises the awareness of AIDS, amongst other things. Our role in this project is to teach the young women how their programme can be delivered, provide support and encourage them to set up Guide units and train other young women join them.

 

To make this project possible I need to raise £2000, so please dig deep and donate now.
