Who says that guides is all about selling cookies? By empowering a younger generation of women, creating a musical opportunity, reaching out across continents, helping flood victims and first and foremost helping every senior citizen of the community, we are proud to say that this international movement; the girl guide movement this year turns 98.
The girl guide movement is a part of the world association for Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS)-the largest voluntary movement dedicated to girls and young women in the world.
By giving a voice to the underrepresented and reaching out to those in need, the Clifton Girl Guides, after being an uphold for the earthquake victims of 2005 earthquake in Pakistan, Girl Guides this year took part in collecting donations and packing up boxes which were then taken to the flood victims camp by the CLIFTON SCOUTS GROUP. Being a part of the Girl Guides has given me a deep belief that no matter how big a problem, it can be solved, with partnerships, perseverance and a big smile, anything can be done.
Nasihah Nazish has been a part of Girl Guides since she was 7 years old. She joined junior guides when she was 7 years old and now she is a patrol leader. Over these years she has achieved the Best Guide Award and then the Best Patrol Leader Award. She is studying at the Convent of Jesus and Mary school Karachi and is in grade 9.
