Challenges – Girl Guiding North Yorkshire North East

Lesotho Challenge

Dot Salmon, a Guide leader in Northallerton and a member of the Northallerton and Bedale Trefoil Guild, has been selected to join one of the Trefoil Guild’s international TOPAZ (Trefoil Overseas Partnerships: Adventure with Zest) projects in October this year. She will be part of a team of five Trefoil Guild members from England and Wales going to Lesotho, to join the Lesotho Girl Guides Association as they take Guiding from schools into the community, and to help with their plans to celebrate the centenary of Guiding in Lesotho next year.

The challenge is for fun and for people to find out a bit more about Lesotho. It includes activities suitable for all sections. Badges (£1.50) and pens (£1) are on sale to support the project, as each participant has to raise £3000 towards the costs.

If anyone would like more information, or would like to order badges, just drop Dot an email at northallertonguides@gmail.com
