Our first training session with the community was set up for retired women, and we had an intimate and positive session. This is a key aspect of GOLD, being flexible and adapting to the situation you are presented with! We had a fantastic few hours with women from the APG board, and the Women's Club of Aruba. Strong, successful and inspiring women, coming together to consider their skills, and the wider world of Guiding that supports 10 million individuals across 146 countries.

If newspaper coverage, and 2 TV interviews weren't enough, it was time to head to the recording studio to appear on Dika's national talk show. This was extremely exciting for all the group, and Steph and Miriam did an incredible job of handling the pressure of the studio! We're excited to be back on telly again in a few days, the novelty will not be wearing off anytime soon.
We came home to a fabulous vegetarian curry, lovingly prepared by Zoë and Anne earlier in the day. Our third and final outfit change was for our first evening training session at the YMCA, in San Nicolas. We set off in our fabulous mini-van, and spent a lovely couple of hours talking with some of the board, some of the leaders and a truly inspiring young guide named Gabby.
What's coming next?
More TV appearances!
