After Sangam.....
Hilary Taylor from North West England joined the National Trefoil Guild trip to Sangam in October 2009 as part of the Trefoil Guild’s ‘Celebrate Around the World’. After the session at Sangam she decided that it was an opportunity to take advantage of the offers from Indian friends to visit. She stayed with friends in Pune (the other side of the city to Sangam) and Mumbai and paints a picture of a side of India most of us don’t see.

Friends of Malawi Guiding
Guiding in Malawi mostly takes place in schools with leaders who are also teachers. Their membership is expanding rapidly (from 15,000 in 2007 to 45,082 in 2009) in spite of the many difficulties the country faces – poverty, communication and huge distances to travel with little available transport. They have already established a creditable educational programme, which is relevant to the girls and their needs. The next stage is to find funds to print and distribute copies of the programme to the units.

Jaipur Coincidences
Margaret Smith, a member of the national Trefoil Guild group which visited Sangam in October writes....Whilst in Jaipur recently we had a chance meeting with a state official who was visiting a sari factory near Pune at the same time as our group. He was keen to know what we were doing there and we told him about Sangam and the Trefoil Guild. He said that his wife was a Guide Commissioner in Jaipur and he hoped that we would contact her as he knew that she would like to meet us. We arranged a meeting and the lady came to visit our group at our hotel. She brought her two children, aged 17 and 13, with her and chatted with us all in turn.
