World Thinking Day 2009

The theme for World Thinking Day 2009 will be girls worldwide say “we can stop the spread of AIDS, malaria and other diseases.”

Girls worldwide say “together we can change our world” is the Global Action Theme of World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts. Girl Guides Singapore will adopt this theme for the triennium of 2009 - 2011.

The World Thinking Day Message by our President, Mrs Joy Balakrishnan, will be read in school on Friday, 20 February 2009. Brownies are expected to be in uniform during school hours on that day.
