Today I went to see the Girl Guides and their leaders at St.
Peter’s Primary at noon. When I arrived
they were waiting in the shade under the trees near the school. The girls sang and danced as a sign of
welcome and opened our gathering with a prayer followed by the Guide Promise.
Next the girls outlined some of the activities they do at Guides;
cooking, sport and Bible Knowledge. They
learn to cook nsima, chicken, meat with bananas and greens. Their favourite sport is netball. Several of the girls today, recited a verse
from the Bible while others sang a song or recited a poem in English, Chichewa
or Chitumbuka. It was very entertainment.
I presented to the group 2 bags consisting of various items
collected in Scotland; coloured pencils, felt tips, drawing paper, crayons,
skipping ropes and balloons. I explained
that these materials did not come in our luggage but were transported by ship
via South Africa, then by road through Mozambique. The gift was warmly received.
The girls and their leaders have been asked to identify a
small list of resources which they would like to extend their activities then I
can collect on my return visit to Scotland.
