World Thinking Day was on Sunday, Feb 22nd. It is an event in which girl led groups from around the world learn about and celebrate countries from all over the world. Each year, troops choose a specific country and then set out on a mission to learn all there is to learn about it, and prepare to teach everyone else about that country. Each family prepares dishes related to the country their daughter's troop chose which then creates a really nice international potluck.
This year, our girls chose Madagascar. As 1st grade Daisies, they have had a lot of focus on animals as part of their Journey this year. Madagascar fit in really well with this! They did a dance and had a lot of fun. Paige had been sick for the meeting that week so she didn'thave to opportunity to try and learn the dance they did, but she tried her best! They were able to sample foods from all around the world. We have some really great cooks in our area! Part of attending was bring school supplies to donate. All donations, and there were a TON of them, went to support Youth Action Without Borders and specifically Dakar, Senegal.
