Yolanda\"51-YolandaKingSoropStAlbansWeb\"<\/a> King<\/strong> gave an enthralling presentation of her trips with Guiding Overseas Linked to Development (GOLD) <\/strong>at our Club Meeting.<\/p>\n

Having participated in\u00a0GOLD Guyana 2014, Yolanda achieved the Queens Guide Award in 2015 and was then selected to be\u00a0Leader of GOLD Maldives in 2016.<\/p>\n

Girl Guides in the Maldives are keen to have help in building up their Young Leaders, they see retention and recruiting new Guide Leaders as key to the associations\u2019 success. Yolanda and her team worked on 3 very different islands in the Maldives providing\u00a0a wealth of different experiences. This lovely picture shows Yolanda on the Southern atoll island of Fuvahmulah where she demonstrated for the Guide Leaders how to run Training sessions for “Little Maids” and “Stars”.\"52-YolandaKingMaldives\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Girlguiding is part of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS), <\/b>the world’s largest women’s organisation. Guiding principles are shared across 145 countries and 10 million members. There is a lot of synergy with Soroptimists – we often think that Girl Guides are “Soroptimists in training!”.<\/p>\n

Guiding Overseas Linked with Development (GOLD)<\/strong> has been working in partnership with other guide associations around the world for nearly 25 years. The programme\u00a0enables young women to develop their potential and make a difference in the world.<\/p>\n

Past GOLD projects have travelled to more than 30 countries. Each three-week project is tailored to the local needs of the host country, providing sustainable community or guiding based development projects, from leadership skills training to delivering advocacy programmes to young women.<\/p>\n

It was a truly inspirational evening – thanks Yolanda!<\/strong><\/p>\n
