#LeadersOfAruba #3 and #4

Next up in our series of #LeadersOfAruba, we have two leaders who have made our stay in Aruba extra special and fun, especially at camp last weekend. First up is Annelien.

On day one, Annelien picked us up from the airport and helped us to find our accommodation. Throughout our stay she's been at many of our sessions and activities, giving us a chance to learn from each other during the project. She took the lead on the logistics of our camp at Papaya Ranch, enabling us to focus on the programme. Everybody we have come across on the island seems to know Annelien (from the members of Quota Club to the dean of the University) and she uses these contacts to provide even more amazing opportunities for the Padvindsters in Aruba.

The second leader we want to mention in Rose Ann. At camp she got the girls organised at mealtimes and to carry out their chores, and we saw a little of her competitive side as she joined in with our peg collecting wide game. Early on, Rose Ann helped Pippa to complete her project challenge as she attended a previous World Scout Jamboree in the Netherlands. Through the conversations during project and activities we've run with young women about international opportunities, we've found plenty of Padvindsters who would be delighted if she lead a group of them to the next World Scout Jamboree in the USA in 2019!

To both of these leaders we want to say thank you for helping to make our project a success so far and for the opportunities you offer to the girls and young women of Aruba! 

If you have a skill, resources, or a small amount of time that you too could give to support Het Arubaanse Padvindsters Gilde, then we have a fun session planned this evening at YMCA San Nicolas (6-9pm) where you can find out more and get a taste of girl guiding and girl scouting.
