Hey guys,
Emily here doing the blog with Elizabeth :)
Today we had our 2nd day of training out of 3 and our last full day! Today we continued working on WAGGGS and then moved on to the 8 point programme and first aid. We looked in depth at the WAGGGS goals and what they meant to Guiding in Malawi. They didn't really seem to know much about the 8 point programme (this is the equivalent to the UK's 5 essenitals!) and had great fun doing the recovery position and slings during first aid.
We had an unexpected surprise during the day, where we stood outside the school with all the Guiders and saw the President of Malawi (Dr Bingu Wa Mutharika) drive past with his HUGE bodyguards with guns and police escort.
Tomorrow we have only a half day with the ladies and then we have debrief on Monday back at MAGGA HQ.
We can't believe how quickly the last few days have gone and that tomorrow's our last day of training!! It's been a privalege working with the ladies and girls and meeting everyone.
Blog soon,
Love from Team Malawi :) x
We are team Malawi! A group of 6 members from Girlguiding UK who have been selected to go on a GOLD project (Guiding Overseas Linked with Development) in July/August 2011. We are the 2nd group to be going to the country where we will be helping to develop Guiding.
Sounds fantastic! Hope you are all having fun... Bet you will be shattered when you get back.
