Past Girl Guides invited to help serve in outreach
Local resident Thozama Spelman, a former girl scout and member of the Girl Guides at Woodhouse Junior Secondary School in Cofimvaba back in 1973, has called on fellow scouters to meet to prepare for an outreach event planned for September 10.
Spelman said years ago she had made a promise to obey the scouts’ laws to help people in need and serve the community.
The upcoming event will involve providing soup and bread as well as clothing to the needy on September 10 at the Sandringham sports ground, at 12 midday.
The scouts meeting, at 3pm on September 3 at Douglas Street near Walter Sisulu University, will be held to prepare for the big event.
“If you were a pupil at Woodhouse Junior Secondary School under the late Mgweba, Thahla or you were at Daliwonga Senior Secondary School under the leadership of the late Duma Mthombeni Rozani and you made the above promise, you are invited to the meeting,” she said.
“Girl Guides is about empowering one another and about discipline.
“In our times we were taught how to take care of ourselves and with the event I want to bring that back.”
