Hello, Girl Scout Readers In Alabama!
Hello. Girl Scout Readers in Alabama!
Your Girl Scout Leader, Becky, sent me an email telling me how you are all reading my blog.
I wanted to say thankyou! It is such an honor to have you experiencing the trip along with me.
I have learned a great deal so far on my trip about myself and other cultures. You might have read(back at the beginning part of this blog), that I am devoting several years of my life to the service of others. I know that this is what the Girls Scouts are all about, too!
I really want to encourage your group to volunteer as much as you can-for me, volunteering has been such a wonderful experience. I have grown alot as a person and I have developed some traits in myself because of putting myself in situations which require compassion. Among these traits are organization, courage, confidence, and humility.
Volunteering also has helped my appreciate everything I have-family, loved ones, friends, pets, food, a house..so many things that others don´t have that I have taken for granted in my own life. We have so much, and we take that for granted. Often, people don´t want to share their time, their money or their resources-but when they truly give, they realize that is the best thing of all.
There was Girl Scout troop here in the past-they worked with the women´s artesian groups. They helped paint signs, they played with the kids, and they helped with starting up a ¨keep our community clean and green¨project. They found the courage to live here for a few weeks, in spite of the bugs and the bats!
I hope you keep reading!
