A very warm welcome 💛🇲🇻

As we exited baggage claim we were enthusiastically welcomed into the Maldives by many of the lovely MGGA members. They were holding a banner that said “Maruhaba” which means welcome in Dhivehi. We were given wonderful gift bags and delicious coconuts. Once we had all changed our money and sorted out SIM cards it was time to head into Male.  A short trip over the bridge into the city and we were soon at our accommodation. We were given a tour of our accommodation, met more members and were given some local treats  😋   Later on in the day we had a meeting ExCo members and we experienced “short eats”. This included traditional Maldivian snacks such as pink sago and pancakes!  🥞 Soon after that a few members took us on a brief tour around Male to see some wonderful sights, we even gate crashed a four year olds Frozen party  ❄️  (with permission  😆 ).    For dinner this evening, we were treated to many Maldivian delicious meals… best to say we...

Our time in Laamu Atoll 🌊

  22/8/22 ~ Our arrival to Maavah   We had a busy day that consisted of, having brunch at the airport and catching flights and ferries to reach our first destination, Maavah. We received such a warm welcome. As we arrived to Kadhdhoo airport we were greeted by MGGA members who gave us all sun hats made from woven palm leafs.  When we arrived in Maavah, some of the girls’ parents had created a palm leaf woven fish welcome arch which said “welcome GOLD team”. We were each given a coconut and Maavah school plaques. To our surprise, for our evening tea we were joined by over 50 Stars, Little Maids, Guides and Leaders. It was lovely getting to know the girls in a relaxed environment, and we couldn’t wait to start training with them. We finished off the evening with a lovely beach BBQ.   23/8/22 ~ Day 1 of training and arrival to Maabaidhoo Today was a very busy day. We had back to back training with Stars, Little Maids and Guides for the first half of the day! Maavashu sc...

Training with the Little Maids and Guides

Image
14/08/2022 ~ Training day 1. A 6:45 alarm so a bright and early start to the day. For todays sessions we had Little Maids and Guides. To all our U.K. Guiding sisters, Little Maids are ages 7-11 and Guides are 12-17. This morning we held our session at Ahmadiyya International School. We had approximately 80 Little Maids and the training session focused on ‘leadership, confidence and decision making’.  We started our training by leaving the school’s beautiful gallery and being greeted by 2 rows of Little Maids handing us individual white roses while we entered the hall. One Little Maid opened the session with an Islamic prayer.  The training started and the girls were a little quiet at first but very quickly started chatting and talking all about Guiding. We taught the girls the call and response “Is everybody happy?” They seemed to enjoy it and we found it to be a very helpful way to get their attention quickly. Our first activity was the human knot where we discovered that the...
