ONE DAY TO GO! 🤩☝️

If you have been following us on social media you will know that it is travel day for GOLD Team Maldives tomorrow! 😍




We are all packed (mostly) and have been spending today filling out declaration forms and buying any last minute resources/kit. 

For some of the team, today has been a little hectic (to put it lightly!). Who would have thought it would have been so difficult to buy some US dollars?! 🙈

This evening we will be getting an early night ready for a long day of travelling tomorrow. We will continue to update our social media channels whilst we are away!

As always, GOLD love 💛

A night with the Maldives Scout and Guide Fellowship (MSGF)

26th August 2022 ~ an early start to the day as we all enjoyed our breakfast meal out with many MGGA members.   This was shortly followed by a bike tour of Male and Hulhumale.  We soon headed back to the association to pack and prepare for our trip to N.Holhudhoo. Before we knew it, it was time to head out for our evening meal at Solite, with the MSGF. It was a fantastic opportunity learn about each other and our cultures, and to share Guiding knowledge and. We even had a sing song at the end of the evening. Some favourites being ‘Guiding light’, ‘my ship sailed from China’ and ‘Linger’.  GOLD love  💛🌏🇲🇻 Follow us on: Facebook: https://m.facebook.com/GirlguidingGOLDMaldives  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goldmaldives2022

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...
